Radiohead listening party in NYC

Radiohead will be previewing their much anticipated CD KID A at the Sony IMAX Theater Lincoln Center (68th Street and Broadway Manhattan) in a state of the art multi-media presentation. The band have made an extremely limited number of tickets available to the general public. They will be available on a first come, first serve basis starting at 6pm Tuesday night (Sept 5) ONLY.

We reported this earlier this week as as listening party for press and retail only. It now appears that they will be allowing the public to come as well. Good luck!

There may be other listening parties in other US cities soon. Stay tuned…

ticket early on 2 September (probably earlier than opening time, yikes!!) – there
should be posters up instore about the playbacks.
– Tickets will be handed out on a first come, first served basis – strictly
1 ticket per person.
– The playbacks on either 4th or 7th September (depending on city) will
start at 7pm and finishing around 9pm at each venue.

Another album?

Yes, according to Shuki Weiss, the organizer for Radiohead’s concerts in Israel. He claims that the audiences enjoyed some of the new material that isn’t included on Kid A (“Egyptian Song”, “Knives Out”, etc…) that the band are planning to release another album this February or March. According to our sources here at Green Plastic, LP5 will be more like OK Computer than Kid A.

Nothing has been confirmed by the band or their management. This is just to let you know what’s going around in rumorland.

Radiohead to play the US?

Recently a post was made to the alt.music.radiohead newsgroup by Zach Proulx detailing his adventure at Courtyard Management, Radiohead’s management group, and their studio nearby. Zach learned that the band may play two dates in the US this October – one in Los Angeles and one in New York City. The band will return a few months later to tour more extensively in the US and Canada. Again, nothing has been official announced so just keep in mind that this is just a rumor. We’ll have more once it’s available.
