Radiohead: new producer & tour

ateaseweb.com wrote:Radiohead have revealed they plan to tour this spring, plus have given an insight into their forthcoming album.

The band, who have been working in the studio on new material during large parts of this year, say they will play some small scale UK dates in 2006 to unveil new songs to fans.

"We are going to tour next year, definitely," Ed O'Brien told Zane Lowe on his Radio 1 show last night (December 21). "Hopefully we're going to have a couple of tracks to download by about April or May. But we're going to go out in May, we're going to do some theatres because part of what we're doing is play new material. It's a good way to get your shit together."

O'Brien explained the band will do UK and European dates in May before heading to America in the summer. He said the band hoped they would have around ten new songs in their set by then.

Discussing the album itself, the guitarist said there was no confirmed release date yet, but said Radiohead planned more recording sessions in February.

"We've been talking to (producer) Mark 'Spike' Stent, who's worked with Madonna and Bjork and hopefully in February we'll reconvene with him," said O'Brien. "We've got some great songs but we won't release something we're not happy with. The thing with Radiohead is that each record has a different sound, it's really hard finding something that's different and sits well with us."

With the band planning to work with Stent, O'Brien confirmed their long-term producer Nigel Godrich would not be involved in the new record.

"It's not an end of an era, (but) part of what your realise as a band is that all those records you made with Nigel, apart from 'Hail To The Thief' we were a little bit in the comfort zone," he explained. "That's why you make records like 'Kid A' after 'OK Computer', that's why you make 'OK Computer' after 'The Bends', you've got to do stuff that you're scared of doing. With Nigel, we've been working together for 10 years, and we all love one another too much."

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Radiohead live :drool:
Open your eyes to nights and days, you close them up and float away
and somehow inbetween you've got to master lying to yourself
you back the cause, get out of school, you get a job, the job gets you
and somehow every day you end up serving somebody else
now if that ain't panic that you're feeling, then you damn well better start
you can drive it into that head of yours with the hammer in your heart.


And it's alriiiiiiiight now, take the world and make it yours again.

Yeah, but they didn't pick a producer notorious for ruining great bands.

From greenplastic.com:

Supervisors of Chicago's brand new, gleaming gem -- a Frank Gehry-designed music pavilion within Millennium Park -- claim that they want to have more popular music performances, but clearly actions speak louder than words: City officials have vetoed Radiohead's request to play the venue on June 19 and 20. According to the Chicago Sun-Times, Chicago's Cultural Affairs Department turned down Radiohead's appeal "even though the group would have paid rental fees of $100,000 -- because the Grant Park Symphony Orchestra is scheduled to hold a rehearsal June 20."

"Free public programming is part of the venue's mission," a spokesperson for the Cultural Affairs Department said. "We have to support organizations such as the Grant Park Orchestra, but we're open to other events if there are availabilities at other times" -- like a private corporate event for Toyota that cost $800,000 and closed the park to the public last summer. According to the Sun-Times, Radiohead still hopes to return to Chicago this summer regardless of whether or not they can play at Millennium.





aaaaanyways...

I listened to Kid A on the bus yesterday.

At first listen, I really really love Optimistic. And Treefingers :love:

The whole album's really good, although more eccentric and experimental than I'm used to.
