Atoms for Peace draws in the massive crowd at Coachella

At Coachella Music and Arts Festival in Indio this past weekend, tens of thousands of fans gathered to hear that lustful, soft and electronic Thom Yorke style. Playing with his band labeled as "????" when the lineup came out in January, gossipers came to know this band included bassist Flea of Red Hot Chili Peppers, along with drummer Joey Waronker, percussionist Mauro Refosco, and guitarist/keyboardist/Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich.
The group came together as Thom Yorke's side project, and have not had any official releases of albums or singles to date. Yorke announced in February that the band was called Atoms for Peace, referring to the track of the same name from Yorke's 2006 solo album "The Eraser." "Atoms for Peace" was included in the Coachella setlist, and was dedicated to Pavement by Yorke for an unexplained reason.
Before the set began, the masses of people caused one man setting up the stage to demand them to simultaneously take a few steps back - in his English accent, of course. The music floating from the speakers repeated itself in an eerie, electronic tone as fans stood anxiously waiting. When the lights dimmed, Thom Yorke arrived and headed to the piano to start off the crowd with "The Eraser," and the band joined him to play every song from the album of the same name - and that was only before the encore.
Yorke returned alone for "Give Up the Ghost," an entrancing performance in which he sang and played acoustic guitar while his own vocals looped. Playing Radiohead favorites "Airbag" and "Everything in its Right Place," this encore started the crowd moving until the end. The following two songs were "Paperbag Writer" and "Judge, Jury & Executioner," respectively. "Paperbag Writer" is a Radiohead b-side that is mysterious, while "Judge, Jury & Executioner" is blatant in its reference to an earlier Radiohead song. This song, titled "Myxomatosis (Judge, Jury & Executioner)" is the twelfth track from Radhiohead's sixth studio album, "Hail to the Thief."
Before the band completed their Coachella set, Yorke told the crowd they had had a long weekend, and needed to freak out. He introduced the song "The Hollow Earth" as "one to freak out to." This freak out continued as Atoms for Peace played the final song "Feeling Pulled Apart By Horses" as everyone danced with the wild Coachella energy Yorke gave them.
