Atoms for Peace

Atoms for Peace isn't a band you will know right off the bat. Perhaps it is because they're new but some of the members are well known in the music industry. It is Thom Yorke's side project besides Radiohead, it focuses on his solo album Eraser that came out in 2006. Another well known member is Flea from The Red Hot Chilli Peppers playing bass. They're playing a couple of shows in a few cities testing out their project before headlining The Coachella Festival.


I had the opportunity to have seen them on Monday, April 5th at Roseland Ballroom. The tickets went on sale a month prior and were sold out in 2 minutes and after that the tickets were being sold up to $400 for a single ticket.


The concert was amazing!!! The opening act was Flying Lotus ( Hip-Hop, Experimental, Psychedelic) music, people who like Drums and Bass would immediately know who he is. But the much anticipated musicians were Thom Yorke and Flea for every Radiohead fan and Red Hot Chilli Pepper fan. Even Flying Lotus after his set ended up sitting right affront of my friends and I and chatted a bit with us but when Atoms for Peace came out he took out his camera and started taking pictures like everyone in the venue.


Performances were great especially from Thom Yorke but then again he never disappoints. Highly recommend on checking Flying Lotus, Atoms for Peace which is Thom Yorke's solo project and most of all Radiohead!!! =)
