Ed and Phil with Neil Finn

What a pleasant surprise! Ed and Phil joined Neil Finn earlier tonight on stage at his show in Manchester. Ed played with Finn for six songs while Phil only played drums for two, though he did play the tamborine for the rest. What’s really cool is both Phil and Ed provided backing vocals for Finn’s final number. Phil, we always knew you could sing!! šŸ™‚

There is a great interview in the very first issue of Blender, a new music magazine put out by Maxim. Thom answers questions sent in by fans and even talks about Noah, his son. Check your local newstand.

NME Article

Leave it to theĀ NME to try and analyze each and every comment Thom makes on hisĀ web page at theĀ official Radiohead site. Today theĀ NME put an article here describing the latest posting that Thom made, in which he quotes a passage from a book by Malcom Lowry called “Under the Volcano.” The article then goes to question if road fatigue is the reason for Thom going “mad”.
The band have actually been having a good time on the road, and despite any reports or articles, they seem to be enjoying themselves.Ā Phil made a brief appearance on theĀ official message board the other day and said that it was “our best tour yet, i think – well the most enjoyable anyway.”

You can read theĀ NME articleĀ here.

Another Tour Date!

Because the September 11 show in Werchter, Belgium is nearly sold out, the band have decided to stay an extra day and play again onĀ September 12 at the same location. Tickets can be purchasedĀ here.

Sigur Ros opening for Radiohead UK dates?

Some of you may have heard that the very talented band from Iceland, Sigur Ros, might open up for Radiohead this Fall during the tent tour. This is from the websiteĀ www.sigur-ros.co.uk:

“as far as the radiohead tour rumours are concerned, there is a chance that the band will support on the uk dates. they haven’t had an official offer from radiohead yet but are aware of their interest. georg said that they probably can’t play on the european dates due to prior commitments.”

Regardless, definitely check out this band!

Paris Metro Posters
The first concert posters have been put in some stations of Paris’ metro/underground/tube. They advertise the September bigtop concerts in paris and contain images from www.radiohead.com, along with two scary drawings (flying testbears over the city and scared citizens, and a giant man starbing) and other small text and phone lines for the FNAC and radiohead.com. It’s made of two similar parts, the only difference between the two being the drawings and the copyright: one is “poster by Stanley and Tchock”, the other by “Tchock and Stanley”. (thanks to Xavier and nodata.ctw.cc)

Concerts in Denmark
In the June 4 issue, the Danish newspaper, Ekstra Bladet, wrote that Radiohead will be playing two shows in Denmark on September 8th and 9th, 2000. As with the other concerts planned for this time, Radiohead will be bringing their own venue… in the form of a giant circus-type tent. (See May 26 news)
They also stated that the band would be making an appearance in Denmark tomorrow, June 6, 2000. Stay tuned….
