The Smile began their debut European tour last week (May 16), debuting a new song called ‘Friend Of A Friend’ on the opening night.
The band – comprising Thom Yorke, his Radiohead bandmate Jonny Greenwood and Sons of Kemet drummer Tom Skinner – formed last year and released their debut album, ‘A Light For Attracting Attention’ this month.
After making their live debut at Glastonbury’s Live At Worthy Farm livestream last summer, The Smile played their first proper live shows with a three-gig run within 12 hours at London’s Magazine venue in April.
