The Airborne Toxic Event Unveil New Songs (And Record News!) at Lollapalooza

The Airborne Toxic Event may have only gotten a few hours of shut-eye in between festival appearances last week, but that didn't stop the Angeleno indie outfit from diving into some new material at Lollapalooza last weekend.

"We had a 5am call, which was very un-rock 'n' roll of us," laughs ATE's Mikel Jollett, recalling when exactly he woke up before heading to Lolla to get ready for their set. "I don't think I've woken up at 5am nearly as often as I've gone to bed at 5am in the past few years."

Sounds about right! Before heading to Chicago, the Airborne Toxic Event announced that they'd be using the megafest as the testing ground for two new songs, "California" and "Dope Machines." It turns out the new songs are more than just a sneak preview, as Jollett then revealed to Fuse's Esteban Serrano that a new ATE record is officially underway.
