Exciting exciting!

Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke is going on tour with his side project, and it sounds AWESOME!

The band, called Atoms For Peace, is comprised of Flea, Nigel Godrich, Mauro Refosco, and Joey Waronker, all of whom contributed on Yorke's solo album The Eraser.

Yorke says:

“ok so in April the other band.. that i got together to do the eraser and other stuff u know .. Mauro, Flea, Me, Joey and Nigel is going back out to do some shows in the US.. ending with playing with Coachella. we had too much fun to just leave it there…it has been decided that we call ourselves Atoms For Peace. hope you like the name.. it seemed bleedin' obvious.”

If you're unfamiliar, Atoms For Peace is also the name of a track off of The Eraser.

They will play eight shows before they hit the Coachella Music Festival in April.

We definitely can't wait to check them out!!

What do U think?? Are U excited to see Yorke touring with different bandmates??

      Just a heads up Perez, they think that they found the body of the growing pains kid. I would not want you to get to far behind.

      Well here's something I actually don't hate. Radiohead is the best fucking band, and Thom's talent is a huge part of it. Wow, someone with actual musical talent, finally. Hey, maybe he'll lip-synch, or use auto-tune, or make 15 costume changes, or throw a tantrum backstage, just like all the shitty "performers" that YOU like ha ha. Doubt it….

      *gives Mario a side-eye*
      Karma Police arrest this man
      He talks in maths
      He buzzes like a fridge
      He's like a detuned radio

      what so you started reading pitchfork and now you're a pro music blogger?
      stop posting other sites' news and stick to the smut that made you (semi)famous



    5. 5

      I worship the ground he walks on, he's our Elvis, of course I'll be checking him out! And so will everyone I know.



    6. 6

      For your information NONE of the band members contributed ANYTHING to The Eraser. It was written and recorded by Thom alone. Stick to your trash taste and stop pretending that you know anything about serious music.



    7. 7

      Ugh Perez, you sure know how to make yourself sound like a loser. You were unfamiliar with Radiohead until they started dissing you're bosses.



    8. 8

      Perez: stick to your Lady Gaga bullshit and leave the real godly like talent alone…You dont know shit about Radiohead, all you know is that he dissed kanye and hannah cuz you are so stuck to your pop stars



    9. 9

      If only Radiohead and TY did something remotely "listenable" after OK Computer, I would actually be excited…



    10. 10

      I love Thom Yorke! ….he can do no wrong.



    11. 11

      What's with the horrible grammar? I had trouble even making sense of that mess.



    12. 12

      Sounds like Perez is trying to hitch his wagon to someone who actually has talent. Stay away fatso. Yorke and or Radiohead don't need the rub.



    13. 13

      For your information, swany188, Nigel Godrich PRODUCED The Eraser and is just as responsible for Radiohead AND Thom's sound as Thom and the rest of the boys. Maybe YOU should stop pretending you know anything about "serious music"?

      oh gawd I hope / WISH I could meet him, I hear he is a hypo maniac and Id love to know another out side of the box thinker similar in complexity to me :D
      Have Fun With IT
      Go You Thom Yorke!!! :) :):)
