It’s pretty rude to speak for others, but let’s be real here, Other Lives must be stoked to be touring with Radiohead. While some acts loathe opening for big names, we’re fairly convinced Thom Yorke & Co. are decent enough folks to support. Fairly convinced. Starting next month, the Oklahoma folk rockers will hit the west coast, before taking a month off in January. Come February, however, it’s an exciting time to be one of the Other Lives, as they’ll be plowing through snow throughout the midwest and east coast, all before celebrating Spring Break with UK’s unlikeliest Spring Breakers. Seriously, could you imagine Jonny Greenwood in a pair of board shorts? Yeah, really.
The tour comes in support of the group’s latest LP, this year’s fascinatingly meditative Tamer Animals, which is currently available everywhere. Check out the complete list of tour dates below, and while you patiently wait for them to stop by, take a look at their recent Parisian radio performance here.
Tamer Animals is currently in stores via tbd/White Iris.
