Radiohead have posted their rescheduled European tour dates on their website. The shows were originally scheduled from June 30th to July 9th in Switzerland, Italy and Germany but are now set for September 20th to 30th, with all original tickets still valid for the new dates.

Radiohead was forced to reschedule the dates after their stage collapsed in Toronto before their set, killing their drum tech and injuring three more crew members. The accident destroyed much of their live setup. The band's touring company is now being investigated by the Canadian Ministry of Labour.

“Time to Pretend”

MGMT | 2008

Listening to MGMT’s breakthrough song, one might interpret it as being about the excesses of rock stardom, but it’s actually about the duo’s pet praying mantis.

The mantis died, but the two bandmates kept the egg sack and allowed the hundreds of eggs to hatch. “We tried to name them all, but they died after a day,” said Goldwasser, with VanWyngarden chiming in, “But the praying mantis dance inspired us.”
