The Airborne Toxic Event has released their video for the single “Faithless,” which was filmed live at their recent homecoming headlining show at the historic Greek Theater in Los Angeles. The music video is an homage to the “filmed live” music video format of the 80s. The live video from “Faithless” comes from the band’s epic concert at the Greek, which featured a surprise appearance by Finneas. A long time Airborne Toxic Event fan, the Grammy Award winner joined the band for a rousing version of “Graveyard Near The House,” a song from the band’s second album All At Once. “Faithless” the single was earlier this year and was first new music from the Los Angeles-based band since 2020’s critically acclaimed album, HOLLYWOOD PARK.

Limited tickets remain available HERE. The Airborne Toxic Event’s sixth LP, HOLLYWOOD PARK arrived alongside an extraordinary literary work of the same name by Mikel Jollett, available from Celadon Books, a division of MacMillan; now in paperback. Hollywood Park: A Memoir sees Jollett chronicling his extraordinary personal journey, from his early childhood in one of the most infamous cults of the 1970s, through a childhood of poverty and emotional abuse, before finding his voice as an artist among the confusion of an adult life spent nursing the wounds of childhood, and the redemption which came from looking inward and an acceptance of self and the fierce love of family. Hollywood Park: A Memoir made its debut at #8 on the New York Times Best Seller List amidst a wave of critical applause. “A shocking but contemplative memoir about the aftermath of an unhealthy upbringing,” declared Publishers Weekly in a starred-review. “Jollett also talks about turning pain into music, getting help for abandonment issues, and finding love and starting a family.” O The Oprah Magazine named Hollywood Park among “The 30 Most Anticipated Books of 2020 (So Far),” writing, “The frontman of rock band Airborne Toxic Event chronicles, in gorgeous and exacting lyricism, his harrowing coming-of-age within (and eventual escape from) the Church of Synanon, a violent religious cult.” “Dangerous, immediate and lyrical from the jump,” wrote the Wall Street Journal, while ABC’s Good Morning America included Hollywood Park: A Memoir in its own “20 Books We’re Excited For In 2020,” writing, “What comes through the pages is a story of fierce love and family loyalty. This moving and profound memoir is for anyone who loves a good redemption story.” HOLLYWOOD PARK made its own explosive chart debut, entering among the top 5 on Billboard’s “Top Alternative Albums” and the top 10 on “Top Rock Albums.” Produced and mixed by the band’s longtime collaborator, multiple GRAMMY® Award-nominee Mark Needham (The Killers, Fleetwood Mac), the album serves as both companion volume and musical soundtrack to Jollett’s remarkable memoir, adding vivid sonic color to his wrenching and ultimately life-affirming personal chronicle. Indeed, both the album and book were fueled in large part by the untimely death of Jollett’s father. Devastated to his very core, he withdrew from both the world and his work for nearly a year before ultimately finding the strength to begin anew. The Airborne Toxic Event is: Mikel Jollett (guitars, vocals), Steven Chen (guitars, keyboards), Darren Taylor (drums), Adrian Rodriguez (bass), and Mimi Peschet (violin).
