In-Flight Safety is a Canadian indie rock band formed in 2003.〔 In-Flight Safety was nominated for a 2007 Juno Award for Video of the Year for "Coast Is Clear". They are currently based in Halifax, Nova Scotia. The group consists of vocalist and guitarist John Mullane, drummer Glen Nicholson and is rounded out by friends who appear in the live show. In-Flight Safety released their second full-length album ''We Are an Empire, My Dear'' 27 January 2009 in Canada on their own label Night Danger. The band released their third full-length album, Conversationalist (mixed by Gus Van Go) on 9 September 2014.〔 ==History== The group met while undergrad students at Mount Allison University, in Sackville. At university the members of In-Flight Safety studied non-musical subjects: Ledwell was enrolled in Fine Arts, Goodsell majored in Geography, Mullane pursued a Computer Science degree and Nicholson studied Art History and Classics. Inspired by a short email from David Bowie praising their basement-recorded Vacation Land EP (sent to the band via Emm Gryner) the members began dedicating the majority of their time to music. The band self-released its debut EP, ''Vacation Land'', in 2004. The EP was distributed by Universal Music Canada.〔 They subsequently signed to Emm Gryner's Dead Daisy Records, and released their full-length debut album, ''The Coast Is Clear'', in early 2006.〔 ''The Coast Is Clear'' was produced by Warne Livesey. The band is in rotation on CBC Radio.〔 and has garnered airplay on Halifax rock station Q104. The band toured across Canada in the spring of 2006 to support both recordings. In-Flight Safety completed a tour of the United Kingdom and Ireland in the fall of the same year. They completed a Canadian tour with fellow rock band Raising the Fawn from 25 October 2006 to 25 November 2006. It was their second tour across Canada with Raising the Fawn.〔 Following the Raising the Fawn tour, the band linked up with Young Galaxy for a west coast tour in 2007. Dell Computers used In-Flight Safety's "Surround" as the score for their North American ad campaign in 2006. The award-winning video for "Coast Is Clear" was released in 2006 and received regular play on MuchMusic and MuchMoreMusic in Canada. It was directed by Drew Lightfoot and filmed on the south shore of Nova Scotia. Their second album, ''We Are an Empire, My Dear'', was released in 2009. After the release of ''We Are an Empire, My Dear'' the band completed two more national tours, one in the fall of 2009 with Library Voices and one in March 2010 with Said the Whale and Yukon Blonde. ''We Are an Empire, My Dear'' was released in UK and Germany in 2011. The band toured Europe in support of the album in March, April and May 2011. In Sept 2011 BBC Radio 1 presenter Zane Lowe chose "Paperthin" as the next hype track.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「In-Flight Safety」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
