RADIOHEAD'S ENJOYS A CULT LIKE POPULARITY WITH THEIR FANS. THEY'VE RELEASED TWO ALBUMS IN THE PAST YEAR, KID A DEBUTING AT NUMBER ONE AND AMNESIAC JUST MISSING THE TOP SPOT. THEIR SUMMER TOUR IS ONE OF THE MOST ANTICIPATED SHOWS OF THE SEASON.
REB Q: Differences for you guys touring over here as opposed to Europe?
PHIL BITE Um, um actually chiefly just different kinds of venues I think. I think the venues really determine the kind of response you'll get off the audience. So I mean over hear we've been playing in-in-the sheds so you know you get everybody laid out in the back on the grass verges just like really chilling out for the evening and so that kind of sets for, sets the tone for the show I think.
MIX THE ATMOSPHERE WITH THE BAND'S BASIC APPROACH AND IT MAKES A GREAT CONCERT.
THOM BITE it's kind of not really about what you're playing, it's about the state of mind you're in when you're playing it. Um if you still, if you still love what you're doing, that's fine if you don't love what you're doing then go home and take a rest.
BUT RIGHT NOW, TOURING AMERICA IS ALL GOOD.
THOM BITE When we get bored, we tend to fall apart and when we have a good time it's just good fun. So it's pretty chilled out at the moment. I'm enjoying it quite a lot.
