THOM YORKE
+ Oliver Coates
Northrop
Thu 12/06/2018 (7pm/$33)
northrop.umn.edu
You know I’m a massive Radiohead fan. In fact, I famously have told this story about my days as a radio DJ at KFSR 90.7FM and I had an opportunity to interview Radiohead during The Bends promotion. I wrote all my questions for either singer Thom Yorke or guitarist Jonny Greenwood... and when we went live on the radio - I got Phil Selway! It was so funny, I had to throw out all my questions and had to improvised. I’ll never forget it, and somehow I love Radiohead even more.
When I bought Thom Yorke’s solo album The Eraser in 2008, I wrote, “It would seem that the main reason behind why they left rock-pop music behind was because singer Thom Yorke's taste in music have drastically changed since OK Computer. Despite releasing three electronic albums (pre-In Rainbows), Yorke continues to write songs that doesn't quite fit into the Radiohead universe.”
Yorke, with Nigel Godrich and visual artist Tarik Barri, will be performing Yorke’s solo works for this upcoming show. If you’re going to the show expecting Radiohead songs - don’t bother! Still, if you love Radiohead and Thom Yorke, you should be there, at least to honor what he’s done to the world of music.
British cellist and producer Oliver Coates will be opening the show. Coates previously worked with Radiohead, so it made sense that he’s been asked to support Thom Yorke on this tour. Oliver Coates’ third solo album Shelley’s on Zenn-La is out now. If you pick up the album, you should be happy to know that portion of the proceeds of the sale will be donated to Down’s Syndrome Scotland, an organization supporting people with Down’s syndrome.

HALEY
+ Loki’s Folly
Cedar Cultural Center
Sat 12/08/2018 (9pm/$20)
thecedar.org
Haley Bonar, now simply Haley (stylized in all caps HALEY) is playing the Cedar Cultural Center in support of her new album Pleasureland. I understand the reason for the name change (she recently reverted back to her maternal family name of McCallum), but I’m actually not a fan of the one-name thing (especially because there is a punk band called Haley from Philadelphia and EDM singer called Haley... and it’s close enough to Halsey!)
Name change or not, we still like Haley’s music.
Loki’s Folly to open.
HALESTORM / IN THIS MOMENT
+ New Years Day
Armory
Sat 12/08/2018 (5:15pm/$47)
armorymn.com
The Halestorm and In This Moment co-headlining tour will stop by the Armory in Minneapolis this Saturday, December 8th.
We previously saw Halestorm in July 2014 and said, “The band wasted little time in entrancing the crowd, as it opened with radio hit, ‘I Miss the Misery’ from previous album, The Strange Case of… (Atlantic Records). Lzzy Hale was adorned in all black- sleeveless top, leather pants and matching eye liner, while younger brother Arjay banged (and climbed) the drums behind her with restless manic energy.”
Special guest New Years Day will open. The hard rock band’s new music video/single “Disgust Me” came out recently... taken from their new EP Diary of a Creep (RED Music).
