Atoms for Peace

When Thom Yorke gathered together a group of musicians including Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Flea and Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich to play a live version of his The Eraser album, it ended up morphing into a regular band. Last seen at the 2010 edition of Fuji Rock – where they drew the biggest crowd with some of the festival's strangest music – Atoms For Peace will be heading here in November for a string of dates, including three sold-out nights at Studio Coast. Never mind that their recent Amok album turned out to be rather less than sensational: this is one band you really want to see live, and tickets sold out almost immediately when they went on sale in April.
