Greenwood also confirmed that they are not interested to play at any live shows yet and all are the rumors that we are taking part in Glanstonbury 2011."…Nor have we yet considered any touring," he outlined. "The plan is to have no plan until the record is finished."

“The plan is to have no plan until the record is finished… hope that’s a little clearer!”

Will You Pay For Silence Charity ???

Radiohead Frontman Thom Yorke has teamed up with Mark Ronson, Bryan Ferry, British Prime Minister David Cameron, tennis star Andy Murray and actor David Tenant (among several others) for "2 Minute Silence," a single that is quite literally two minutes of silence. It isn't just a boundary-testing art project, but rather a fund raising single for the Royal British Legion. You can pre-order the single here, and there is currently a push to get it on top of the British singles chart next week (your pre-order also buys you a video of the track's participants staring silently at the camera for two minutes). All proceeds will ultimately benefit British military veterans. "Rather than record a song, we felt the UK public would recognize the poignancy of silence and its clear association with remembrance," said Chris Simpkins, the Director General of the Royal British League.

Would you pay money for silence if it was for charity? Let us know in the comments!

Rdiohead: We're just like a sibling akin

Drummer Philip Selway has said,"Radiohead members are close together like brothers. In there it's a really very strong band, it's not like a pair of friend, not like a pair of colleagues. It's relationship just like a sibling where you have all these common experiences."

Radiohead Philip Selway's Struggle To Drum For Solo Album

PHILIP SELWAY RADIOHEAD sticksman began to question his talent while recording his solo debut because he struggled to come up with drum parts for his songs.
From Radiohead the rocker is branching away and to release his first solo effort but admits he can't take full credit for his percussion work because he was forced to rely on his collaborator, Wilco's Glenn Kotche, to help him feel the beat.
He tells Reuters, "My first attempts at singing didn't marry up with what I thought I was doing. There was a lot of trial and error, finding something that was musical and conversational at the same time.
"Also, when I was writing the tunes, I didn't hear drum parts. It was a bit worrying; as a drummer it made me question my credentials 'Why can't I think of drum parts?!'
"But Glenn had ideas, and that freed me up to concentrate on the songwriting side of things."
Selway's Familial album will hit shelves later this month (Aug10).

Radiohead's Solo Album Selway Discusses

Radiohead drummer Philip Selway has revealed some new details about his solo album, Familial, an August which is slated for 30 release in the U.K. "I've been playing guitar and writing songs since I was 15 but I started really thinking about making an album around four years ago," Selway tells Pitchfork."But I didn't know I'd sing on it; I didn't feel at that point I had a convincing voice," he adds. "It took four years of trial and error to find out the stretches I could make. It's a bit of a leap of faith."Selway will follow the release of Familial with a short British tour. He will act as the main support for Wilco."I am one of the more shadowy figures in Radiohead which is a great place to be," Selway adds. "As a drummer in a five piece, you can easily get bound up in this rather distasteful shout for attention but, in some ways, a drummer is there to do a job and doesn't actually need to speak."

Radiohead speaks of new album

Currently, Phil Selway from Radiohead confirmed that their fresh album is still in the pipeline and songs are yet to be written. About his sorrowful folk album called Familial he also spoke largely. On August 31 the album is supposed to be out. He also says that his role in the band is a little shadowy and a little obscure.
His album promises to be an interesting stroll of Nick Drake kind folk tunes. The album would also have a host of guest spots filled by the likes of Lisa Germano and Wilco’s Glenn Kotche. Pat Sansone would also be one of the artists, who would appear a guest on the album. Reportedly, it’s been three years since the band ever released an album. Their last release was in 2007, with an album called In Rainbows. In Abingdon the band that was formed, Oxfordshire is expected to have a release as soon as they complete writing the songs.

Radiohead album faces more delays?

Radiohead drummer Phil Selway has admitted that the band's new album deadlines keep getting extended. The group's eighth LP was previously due for release this year. Selway told EW MusicMix: "It’s not finished yet. It’s still ongoing. We like where we are so far."The musician also refused to set a release date.He said: "Oh, I don’t know. We keep on hitting those points where you think, 'We're there'. And then you think, 'No, it’s not'. We're having a break from it at the moment… and then we’ll come back to it later in the summer and look where we are."

Radiohead Appearance Glastonbury Features Surprise

Radiohead's Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood at the U.K.'s made a surprise appearance

Glastonbury festival on Friday. The two were introduced to the crowd as "the biggest surprise of the weekend."The performance took place on the stage fest's Park, which is off the main area and usually considered a venue for newer bands. The set started with some of Yorke's solo stuff, but soon the two provided some Radiohead songs as well. The set included such tunes as "Pyramid Song" and "Karma Police."Yorke and Greenwood's performance was billed as simply "special guests," though festival arrangers Michael Eavis gave them credit as "two superstars" when they were introduced. In previous years, Jack White's the Dead Weather and Franz Ferdinand have been some of the other Glastonbury surprise guests.

Atoms for Peace Perform Radiohead Songs at Coachella

When it was first announced that Thom Yorke would be coming to this year's Coachella, he was billed as a solo act but his name was accompanied by a set of question marks -- "Thom Yorke ????." The mysterious nomenclature revealed that Yorke obviously wouldn't be performing with Radiohead but it suggested something exciting all the same.
As was revealed in February, the once-questionable project has since been named Atoms for Peace and its lineup includes Flea (Red Hot Chili Peppers), Nigel Godrich, Mauro Refosco and Joey Waronker. The group has yet to offer an album, video or even a single -- in fact, there are no official releases whatsoever -- and they've only really played a handful of gigs as a band. It doesn't matter. At Coachella -- by far their largest gig to date -- fans by the numbers seemed to have the same kind of religious experience that Radiohead concerts are known for inducing.
Following the template from their recent theater workouts, the first portion of the set showcased Yorke's 2006 solo album, 'the Eraser,' in its entirety. Yorke confessed to the audience early on that this would be the plan of attack and, midway through, he dedicated the song 'Atoms for Peace' to Pavement without explanation. Clearing the stage at the conclusion of the 'Eraser' song cycle had the unintended effect of partially clearing the audience -- many mistakingly thought the set was pretty much over and wanted to stake out a place for Gorillaz, who were up next on the adjacent main stage.
Too bad -- those fans missed Yorke truly performing solo, taking to an acoustic guitar and an upright piano, respectively, for 'Airbag' and 'Everything in its Right Place.' Literally the only act that could follow Atoms for Peace was Gorillaz because, otherwise, it would've been "thank you and goodnight" for 75,000 satisfied music fans.

Radiohead Tickets are available online on GigSport.

Radiohead Frontman Gets Funky with Atoms for Peace at the Oakland Fox Theater

Dread seems to permeate the air these days. Inside the Berkeley bubble, the specter of midterms, papers, pending graduation, divestment debates and general collegiate stress lurks in every conceivable corner of campus. On a larger scale, we're just starting to fully realize how screwed we are over issues like climate change, nuclear weapons and the shifting global economy. Let the collective nail biting and nose bridge pinching begin.
Dread loomed large at the Oakland Fox on Thursday night. Thom Yorke's new band Atoms for Peace headlined the night, with Flying Lotus opening. Both acts conjured divergent yet complementary types of aural paranoia.
Working off the principle that nature abhors a vacuum, Flying Lotus filled his set with dense, claustrophobic creations as moody as they were immediate. His mixing board must have had all its settings turned up to 11-a frontal onslaught of noise was hurled at the audience consistently. The crushing, pulsating bass tumbled out of the suspended PA speakers like some collapsing building in a sonic earthquake. Crooked drum patterns, blaring synths, odd blips and splintered strings floated between the gaps in this low-end vibration, producing herky-jerky, powerfully paranoia-inducing tunes that were like a lucid dream slowly morphing into an inescapable nightmare.
Flying Lotus was the perfect opener, even though a guy on a laptop might seem like an anachronistic introduction to such a primal band. Comparisons to Radiohead may be perfunctory when it comes to Atoms for Peace, but the contrast really illuminates Yorke's new direction with this group. Lately, Radiohead have been all about intangibility; there's a reason they called their last album In Rainbows. In contrast, at the Oakland Fox Yorke sang the line "with your fingers you can touch me," a lyric from "Black Swan." Atoms for Peace's performance was all about physicality.
But rather than celebrating corporeality, they unabashedly displayed all the fears and anxieties wrapped up within the body. The percussion had a lot to do with this. The drums (expertly played by duo Joey Waronker and Mauro Refosco) dominated the mix. The vocals, Nigel Godrich's buzzy synths, Yorke's wiry guitars and bassist Flea's one-off melodica solo barely emerged from the propulsive rubble. Though they tended to drown other sounds out, the drums were effective, producing a post-apocalyptic rumbling. Many renditions, like the funky version of "Paperbag Writer," were downright carnal. The heavy percussion got Yorke to bust out his signature disturbing dance moves, and the very extroverted bassist Flea, of Red Hot Chili Pepper fame, was even more locomotive than usual. The crowd responded, swaying, nodding and grooving to the dark, controlling music.
The only respite from this tribal bombardment came during the encore. Yorke emerged from his backstage bomb shelter after the nuclear fallout of Atoms for Peace's set to play a few oddly pretty "works in progress" on solo piano, as well as an acoustic "Airbag." Otherwise, the night was relentlessly driven by ominous yet earthy beats.
Flying Lotus's and Atoms for Peace's music acknowledged anxiety, but it never let itself become consumed by it. It fought back against the impending doom it invoked. Yorke and company may have acknowledged that all of "this is fucked up" (to quote "Black Swan" again), but they didn't nihilistically accept defeat. Sure, we might be increasingly constricted by our fates, but that doesn't mean we can't squirm back in resistance to the tightening hold. We might even be able to loosen the grip.

Radiohead To Win Kentucky Derby?

Journalists with information wide of the mark are also reporting that Radiohead, the horse, has begun working on an album which he plans to give away as a free download in return for users dropping a donation in his horse box.
Tracks mooted for the long player, titled ‘Kid Neigh’, include:
