No Vegas show/Ticketmaster sucks

So, as we expected, the story about Radiohead performing in Las Vegas on March 1 is untrue. W.A.S.T.E. made a statement this morning concerning the “bogus” show.

It has come to w.a.s.t.e’s attention that tickets for a bogus show on the 1st March 2006 in Las Vegas have been sold over the weekend by Ticketmaster.

There is no such show and we are currently investigating why this has happened. We would recommend that those who have purchased these tickets go back to the seller to organise refunds.

Unfortunately, there have been fans that bought tickets after Ticketmaster telling them that Radiohead were indeed playing Bally’s on March 1. The Bally’s box office had no clue about the show and directed all questions to TM. We are now hearing from some fans that Ticketmaster is REFUSING refunds to this bogus show. Though the concert was advertised to be a Radiohead show on Ticketmaster’s website, it is really for the Jubilee dinner show which, according to TM, is now sold out (probably because everyone was thinking it was Radiohead) and they refuse to do refunds on sold out shows.

We seriously hope that we are misinformed and that Ticketmaster will do the right thing and refund tickets.

UPDATE: This was sent to us by Rooch20: “I just spoke to Ticketmaster and they are investigating this. Everyone will get their money back. They just need to get to the bottom of this and then will contact the people who bought tickets….like me!”

Thom sampled by Massive Attack

Thom’s voice singing “Where do we go from here” from “The Bends” has been sampled by Massive Attack on their new song “False Flags” which will be appearing on their new album Collected.
The sample can be heard near the end of the song, though it’s not very noticeable. To hear the song, visit here. You can also see the video here.
You may remember that Massive Attack had at one time planned to remix the whole OK Computer album but due to time issues, they had to abandoned the project.
Collected will be released on March 27, 2006.

What? Radiohead in Vegas March 1? Hmm…

One of our faithful readers alerted us to a listing on Ticketmaster.com that has Radiohead performing on March 1, 2006 at Bally’s. We at Green Plastic would love for this to be true, though our gut and common sense is telling us that it is a mistake. The listing mentions something about this being part of the Jubilee series which apparently is a Las Vegas topless showgirls dinner show. We just can’t see Radiohead doing something like this.

UPDATE: Ticketmaster has changed the above link to the Jubilee concert show. Read here for more info…

Shaky Flying Cars

Both Thom and Jonny posted on Dead Air Space today. I wish we could say that they blabbed about the new album or something, but alas, they didn’t. Thom apparently barely dodged a crisis while Jonny is talking about flying cars.
Stay tuned!
