Fans were upset when Atoms for Peace first announced a handful of tour dates with just Thom Yorke and Nigel Godrich. Although the "two turntables and a microphone" performances are bound to dazzle audiences, the energy and stage presence of a full band is far superior. But now fans will get their wish.
Atoms for Peace has announced a European tour that will feature the whole band, following the recent release of their first album, Amok. The band consists of Radiohead lead singer Thom Yorke, Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Flea, Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich, Joey Waronker of Beck and R.E.M. and Brazilian percussionist Mauro Refosco.
The tour takes the band across the majority of Europe, playing 11 shows in only 20 days. The tour makes three festival stops at the Pohoda Festival, Exit Festival and Melt Festival, and wraps up with a three-day stint in London. It also marks the second time that Atoms for Peace has performed outside of the U.S.
The band also released a new music video for their song "Ingenue" in February. The video features Thom Yorke dancing with contemporary dancer Fukiko Takase. Check it out below.
Fans should be excited. With an all-star lineup and a fresh debut album, Atoms for Peace promises to deliver big time onstage.
