Clinic on Radiohead
In an interview with Lawrence.com Clinic frontman Ade Blackburn talked about touring with Radiohead. (Clinic supported Radiohead on their 2000 tour):
How irritating is it to tour with Radiohead?
I actually found it very easy to tour with Radiohead just because the whole setup between the band and the people that they work with is just easygoing; perhaps a lot more easygoing than smaller gigs or other support kind of situations we’ve been in, because I don’t really think they’ve got anything to prove so there’s no egos involved.
So there aren’t legions of robotic fans screaming, “Who is this band that is preventing us from seeing Radiohead?”
(laughs) We kind of saw it as more of being the obvious underdogs, and [since] people were mainly going to watch Radiohead, we had nothing to lose. And I think the Radiohead audience — as well as some people being kind of aware of what we’d done — I think they’re an intelligent audience, and they seemed pretty open to what we were doing, so it wasn’t a case of being bustled offstage.
You’ve been called Radiohead’s favorite band. Has this brought people out of the woodwork to kiss your asses?
Playing with Radiohead certainly, I think, made our name known, especially to people in America. As I say, with that type of audience, I think if they thought what we did was crap, then they’d soon pass on it, so I think that can get your initial foot in the door, but you have to prove yourself after that.
