Here’s some information we received about Christopher O’Riley doing a show at Joe’s Pub in New York on July 10, 2003:

Christopher O’Riley is an artist whose passion and understanding of the genius of Radiohead have led Sony Classical to release “True Love Waits,” an album of his original solo piano transcriptions of some of Radiohead’s greatest songs. “True Love Waits” features his unique
re-imagining of this Brit prog-rock phenomenon’s music and continues to demonstrate the articulate and insightful musicianship that he applies to his well-known interpretations of Stravinsky and Scriabin. ?Also the host of the popular public radio show, “From The Top,” Christopher O’Riley’s career demonstrates that relevance and classical music need not be anathema to each other. Last year’s sold-out NY concert of this material at the Miller Theater inspired the NY Sun to write, “O’Riley has made a statement about what constitutes good serious music and why it needn’t be commissioned by a symphony orchestra to deserve attention. [His] transcriptions proved that Radiohead can be as unfailingly moving for true compositional reasons as any working classical composer…” ??www.christopheroriley.com ?

From Chart Attack:
Once again Radiohead is breaking new ground. In anticipation of their sixth studio album, Hail To The Thief, Radiohead has found a new way to give their fans a taste of the album before its actual release date. Thom Yorke and Co. will be playing a concert on MTV2 in New York that will air (via satellite) in Famous Players theatres across Canada on Tuesday June 5. This will allow the band to reach out to many fans that might not have seen the band in concert and allows the viewers to get a taste of the new material as well. Despite Radiohead’s immense popularity this will be the only full concert launch that the band will do.
In past years, Radiohead held listening parties at Famous Players theatres for their albums Amnesiac and Kid A. This new venture will allow the fans to not only to hear the new album but also to get the live experience. Although the theatre will be the only way to see the band live in Canada, Radiohead will do a short tour of the U.K. and Ireland which begins on May 17 in Dublin.
