[Watch] Radiohead Debuts New Song Live in Chicago

After teasing at a collaboration with Jack White only two days ago, Radiohead once again used their live performance to deliver something even more exciting during a show in Chicago last night.

[Watch] Japandroids Return to Fallon

Over two years after first appearing on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, Vancouver punk-rock duo Japandroids have returned to the show to perform two tracks from their new LP Celebration Rock. During the show, they performed "Fire's Highway," which you can watch above, while their live rendition of "The House That Heaven Built" is a web-exclusive.

[News] Radiohead Hints at Jack White Collaboration

During their headling set at Bonnaroo last night, Radiohead hinted heavily at a possible collaboration with Jack White.

Who knows what we can expect from a collaboration such as this, but let the speculation begin. As well, check out the band's entire Bonnaroo performance above.
