“Yeah, we’ve just sold out our pre-order tickets for the LA show, which was great! Hopefully we’ll play for the rest of the year. UK shows in November. They’re confirmed. Then Paris as well. A few European places too. Maybe do some festivals if the opportunity arises. Perhaps Japan and Australia next year before the Atoms For Peace thing kicks off because both of the guys are in it .”

Atoms For Peace release new single “Default”
Atoms For Peace have announced a new single for the a song titled “Default”. You can download the song now on iTunes, and a 12″ vinyl single will be released next month and the album will be released in 2013.
In a message on Radiohead’s Official Website Thom Yorke posted the following message:
You may have heard that I have a new project called Atoms for Peace.
The name comes from some shows of The Eraser that happened a couple of years ago with Mauro, Joey, Nigel and Flea.
We got a big buzz from them and discovered loads of energy from transforming the music from electronic to live, and so afterwards, we carried on for a few days in the studio and decided to make it a loose, on-going thing.
Immersed in the area between the two…electronic and live.The first tune we’d like you to hear is Default
A 12″ vinyl version will follow next month and an album will eventually follow that next year.
Thom
