If you were lucky enough to have caught the limited capacity shows, you will have had a fair taste of what is to come.

We, across both Today (web) and Today (radio)* have had to keep our lips sealed for an absolute age on this...

But on June 27 of this coming summer, Tom Skinner of Sons Of Kemmet and Jonny Greenwood and Thom Yorke of Radiohead will be bringing their latest project to Luxembourg.

We are awfully excited, so much so, that we can barely type this post.

First single You Will Never Work In Television Again recalls The Bends era ‘Head and produced by Nigel Godrich has got musos in a full on beard-stroking frenzy. Is this new, rockier direction, a return to the guitar-based sounds upon which Radiohead built their worldwide acclaim, or rather a playful misdirect? Time will tell, but this loose and riffy track straddles the generations perfectly.

Follow up cut The Smoke sees the trio settle back into a more laid back groove, even if the time signatures feel in danger of tripping over each other. The bassline hook propels Greenwood and Yorke through the scales as brass flits in an out, Skinner meanwhile feathers the snare wonderfully...

Tickets for the show, booked and promoted by Den Atelier will be available from their website from 11am February 4th, 2022. Odds are they will sell out very swiftly.

We hope to have something exciting to announce shortly.

*this will become less complicated in the future...we think.
