Radiohead have announced their openers for their US tour behind A Moon Shaped Pool and one of their tour-mates sure seems to be making a political statement. In the wake of the Donald Trump administration’s repeated attempts to ban Muslims from entering the country, and the rise in both anti-immigrant and anti-Jewish sentiments in the country, Thom Yorke and Co. have given over their American opening slots to Dudu Tassa & The Kuwaitis.
The Israel-based band covers the songs of the Al-Kuwati Brothers, Iraqi composers from the early 20th century. As if to underline the fact that they’re using the diverse band to make a statement, Dudu Tassa will rejoin the act for a show in Tel Aviv at the end of their tour.
