The long North American tour recently announced by breakout rockers the Airborne Toxic Event will be an all-Los Angeles affair. Red Cortez, the local quartet [Harley Prechtel-Cortez, pictured] whose soulful blues-rock stamped them as one of SoCal’s most promising up-and-comers when the band emerged under the name the Weather Underground, will join the Henry Clay People as support for the tour. The kickoff is Sept. 17 at the Fox Theater Pomona, with the tour spanning more than 25 dates. Next up for Red Cortez locally will be a July 9 date at the free “Also I Like to Rock” series at the Hammer Museum, where they will share the bill with Everest.
