Thom Yorke Kicks Off Atoms For Peace Tour

In New York…

Thom Yorke has started his US tour with his new band Atoms For Peace with two shows in New York.

The frontman has put together a group separate from Radiohead to play his own solo material at the shows.

Red Hot Chilli Peppers bassist Flea is part of Thom’s band as well as producer Nigel Godrich. Joey Waronker and Mauro Refosco complete the line up.
At the New York show AFP played tracks from Yorke’s solo 2006 album The Eraser and newer tracks including Daily Mail and The Hollow Earth.
The group also debuted a never-before-heard track reportedly called A Walk Down The Staircase- played by the frontman alone on electric guitar.
A New York Times review of one of the gigs said: “Rhythm ruled the music of Atoms for Peace, the band Thom Yorke led at Roseland on Monday night.
“It's a side project with unspecified goals… but one effect was immediate: he danced through nearly the whole set. Twitching, strutting, pivoting, hopping, jittering and gesticulating.”
Atoms For Peace have yet to announce UK dates, but MTV hopes they do soon.
