BIO
Bodysnatchers is a Seattle-based tribute to one of the most influential bands in rock history. Formed by musicians with deep roots in the Pacific Northwest scene, Bodysnatchers brings a rare combination of technical precision and emotional authenticity to Radiohead's vast and demanding catalog—from the brittle anxiety of Pablo Honey to the abstract grandeur of A Moon Shaped Pool.
The band's origins trace back nearly a decade, when vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Aileen Paron and guitarist Rebecca Gutterman first played together in an earlier incarnation of the Radiohead project, Pablo Honeys. Although a key member’s relocation halted the project, Rebecca and Aileen continued to collaborate, performing in post-rock outfit These People Here alongside bassist Jen Fox.
With Radiohead influencing so much of their own music, the trio couldn't shake the idea of reviving the project. It was an easy sell to Jacqui Gilroy—a seasoned prog-rock guitarist with an instinctive feel for Radiohead's interlocking guitar architecture—and highly sought-after drummer Aimee Zoe. The chemistry was immediate.
On stage, Bodysnatchers delivers something genuinely rare. Rebecca navigates both Ed O'Brien's shimmering textures and drones and Jonny Greenwood's mercurial leads with equal fluency, while Jacqui anchors the principal guitar parts and contributes backing vocals. Aileen—a sound designer by trade—brings an insider's ear to the band's electronics and synths, lending the live show a depth and fidelity that sets Bodysnatchers apart.
Anchoring it all is one of Seattle's most formidable rhythm sections: Aimee Zoe, a celebrated fixture of the city's music scene whose drumming credits span dozens of projects, and Jen Fox, a much sought-after bassist whose command of Colin Greenwood's deceptively intricate lines is nothing short of uncanny.
Together, they don't imitate Radiohead.
They inhabit them.

"Does the world really need more Radiohead? Probably not. But one thing we could all use a little more of is the music of the Pablo Honeys, Seattle’s all-female Radiohead tribute band. In this five-piece ... Thom Yorke’s androgynous whimper takes on a decidedly feminine tone thanks to Aileen Paron’s gossamer lead vocals, yet the songs themselves are performed faithfully close to the originals. From OK Computer to King of Limbs, these ladies have perfected the genre they call Radiohead—and it’s a little less creepy when they do it."
