Bombastic Acoustic Video Series: “It Doesn’t Mean a Thing,” New Chicago show added..
Good morning,
This week’s installment of our Bombastic acoustic video series is a performance of our song, “It Doesn’t Mean a Thing,” featuring a cat. We originally planned to have something like 30 cats in the video, all playing with yarn and toys, but as it turns out, cats don’t like loud guitars and drums. Like, at all. In the end, one stayed, and the rest got the hell out of there.. It was quite the scene.
Noah learned the banjo for this one, and this is Anna’s first official performance with a xylophone.
Watch “It Doesn’t Mean a Thing” HERE.

oh my gah…i just wanna wrap you guys up in a big ol’ group hug. so awesome. so lovely. just so…dreamy. thank you. really love this one.
Every time I hear a new song I am blown away with your collective talent. Especially as I am not hearing anything like you out there. Sooo looking forward to each new song, release of record and seeing you live. Thank-you, thank-you for the joy I feel listening to your music.
I didn’t even see the cat till the last 30 seconds cus it never moves! Haha love your song-like all the rest
LOVE it!! I want to head to Chicago – but May is just too busy for us. Any chance you’ll make it to Indy?
sadness, the LA tickets are sold out. thats what i get for not buying them yesterday. i absolutely adore you guys <3 i hope you come by again soon.
Come to las vegas! Me & a bunch of friends wanna see you guys<333
I played the video 3 times in a row and I liked it better each time. That’s pretty much true of every song of the band’s. A great song always sounds better each time it’s played. And this is a great band with an unlimited future. See you guys in Ft. Lauderdale in May.
Jeff
I’m a fan of yours when you plan to do a tour here in Brazil? Could do a show in Belo Horizonte!
Even more.
I was wondering why everybody was talking about a cat. And when I watched the video for the twentieth time, looking for a fluffy ball… I saw it! *feeling like a superwoman*
Anyway. From the first day I heard “Sometime around midnight” on a French radio, to now, the Airborne Toxic Event wrote many songs, did many shows… And you never disapointed us, never. Your a talented band, always improving & remaining what you are, what made us love your work.
Thank you.
(Can’t wait to see you at La Maroquinerie in Paris!)
Wow… never thought anything could be greater than your last album. I´ve been listening to it over the last 2 years and still can´t get enough of this passionate music.
And now I´m pleased to get a new song of the forthcoming album every week and I am so stunned, cause these songs are so…ARGH…
Great, great stuff! You guys are so unique!!!
Thank you so much – and thank you Matuschke for pushing the good ones.
Cool. I luckily got my ticket early, because I missed out the last two times you guys came to Chicago in 2010 (I’m 19). But now I won’t be able to go to the same show as my friends I guess. Still. Should be great. Can’t wait.
You guys did it. You found the cat that best matches the color of that pillow 😉
Another terrific song, guys. Love it.
You guys are just soooooo amazing! I’m gonna try to see you guys in Austin in May, but money is tight :/ any chance you guys can stop in El Paso?
