interview: Atheists & Airplanes
Tune into WMSE’s Local Lunchbox segment on Zero Hour to hear more about local band, Atheists and Airplanes.
Milwaukee’s Atheists and Airplanes is a indie/ garage/ noise rock band; members Emily, Beth and Jen combine influences from punk, classic rock, blues, grunge and existentialist philosophy to create music that is part noise, part Nietzsche.
The band’s name is borrowed from the notoriously provocative 1970s feminist novel “Fear of Flying” by Erica Jong, in which the author speculates that there are no atheists on turbulent airplanes.
