Air Dubai

The Denver six-piece Air Dubai is more than the sum of its parts. It is not about the exciting combination of eclectic genres or even the explosive onstage energy. The appeal lies in its members passion for the music they create, as well as their love for the people who come to see them perform. A heady mix of hip-hop, pop, soul, rock and electronic, Air Dubai exists not to fit into one specific category or sound, but instead to create something new and fresh on each album and even every song.

Air Dubai premiered their music video in February for the infectious song "Warning" featuring Patricia Lynn. The single is from the band's forthcoming Hopeless Records debut album, Be Calm. Air Dubai is composed of vocalists Julian Thomas and Jon Shockness, with Lawrence Grivich (guitar), Michael Ray (keyboards/synth), Taylor Tait (bass), and Nick Spreigl (drums).

To date, Air Dubai has two official releases: 2010's Wonder Age (produced by Andrew Guerrero of Flobots) and 2011's Day Escape (produced by Sylvia Massy, whose credits include Red Hot Chili Peppers, Tool and Prince). The albums showcase impressive musical dexterity and songwriting ability, but the true magic lies in Air Dubai's live shows; energetic, soulful performances fueled mainly by the faithful fans that come to see them play.

Air Dubai performed all week during SXSW, will be busy this spring and summer with nationwide tour dates.
