Radiohead Tour

Radiohead Concert Tickets
Radiohead style, remarkable for its variety and versatility, can be largely explained by the eclectic music tastes and achievements of its members. Guitarist Jonny Greenwood is currently composer in residence with the BBC, a multi-instrumentalist, and the only classically trained member of the band, playing (outside of the guitar) instruments such as the Ondes Martenot, banjo, harmonica and viola. The singer Thom Yorke, as well as writing all the lyrics, plays several instruments, and has also focused in recent years on the digital manipulation of sound. He and Jonny are both credited with playing "laptop" on the latest album of the group.
Though Yorke and Greenwood are often considered the main creative influences within the group, the composition is primarily a collaborative effort, and all members are equally cited by the group in their album credits. For example, Ed O'Brien, but most often employed as a guitarist and vocalist, is responsible for creating many effects and noises heard in the songs (like the end of "Karma Police"), and is also a skilled drummer ; and bassist Colin Greenwood and drummer Phil Selway are known to have played a role in the development of several recent pieces of Radiohead. Since Kid A and Amnesiac recording sessions, group members feel less compelled to always play "their" instrument, often cut as a function of what the song requires, although in live performances, the roles are generally more consistent.
This spirit of creative collaboration is also shown in close relationship with their group of producers, in particular Nigel Godrich, who worked with the group as co-producer on OK Computer and the three subsequent albums, having been an engineer at the recording The Bends. Godrich has often been dubbed a member attics of Radiohead in an allusion to the work of George Martin and the Beatles, but this association has been at least temporarily broken after the group's decision to work with Mark "Spike" Stent during recording sessions in progress.
Designer Stanley Donwood is another long-term partner of the group, after producing with Yorke (often listed under the pseudonym "tchock", "Tchocky", or "Dr. tchock") all works of visual art Radiohead (excluding music videos) from their EP My Iron Lung. For Radiohead, Donwood has produced art ranging from oil paintings to computer generated images to create collages and posters of antique style, prefers to work in the same place the band is recording so to find a visual equivalent of their sound. Donwood projects and a significant influence on the public image of the band, and the issues addressed in his works have been seen to act as a catalyst to themes in the lyrics of Yorke. With Yorke, he won a Grammy in 2002 for a special edition of Amnesiac packaged as a library book.
Radiohead were formed in the mid-eighties at Abingdon School, a public (in American English: private) school for boys only just outside the town of Oxford, which drummer Phil Selway, guitarist Ed O O'Brien, guitarist / vocalist Thom Yorke, bassist Colin Greenwood and Colin brother Jonny all attended multi-instrumentalist. They started practicing in the music room of the school, which led to the formation of their first band On a Friday, so named because of their date of regular repetition. Among early influences on Friday were The Smiths, Joy Division, Magazine, Queen, REM, and Elvis Costello's. The group played its first concert in September 1986, at Oxford's Jericho Tavern. Jonny was the youngest member and only played the harmonica until he could persuade others to allow him on guitar, but it soon became the main actor of the band. At one point early in the history of the group, on Friday also had several girls in the lineup playing the saxophone.
