Mr. Airplane Man is an American rock band from Boston, Massachusetts.
Margaret Garrett and Tara McManus met each other when they were both 10 years old. [4] The two became childhood friends, but later separated, attending separate colleges.

Mr. Airplane Man released their first album Red Lite in 2001. [5] The album drew comparisons to The White Stripes and Howlin' Wolf. [6] [5]
They released their second album in 2002 titled Moanin'. [7] This was followed up with a third album in 2004 titled C'mon DJ. [8]
The duo later were asked to open for Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The White Stripes and The Strokes. [1] The duo released an EP in 2012 titled Shakin' Around. [9]
After their third album, the duo went on hiatus, citing lack of inspiration. After being asked to play a festival in Germany, the pair decided to reunite. [1]
The duo eventually released The Lost Tapes in December 2014, a collection of unreleased recordings from 1999 [10] and a self-titled full length album originally recorded with Mark Sandman in 1998. [6]
In 2016, the band relocated to Los Angeles to pursue musical work in the film and television industry. [11] Their music has appeared in episodes of The L Word and the film Crazy Eyes, amongst others. [3]
