Shindig Demo

The Shindig Demo is the title given to Radiohead's second demo tape, released in 1990 on audio cassette. The tape got its name from the band's title at the time.
Most of the songs on this demo never made it onto another release, however "What's That You See?" and "Give It Up" made it onto the next demo tape as "What's That You Say?". "The Greatest Shindig" was later recreated as "Maquiladora" and became a B-side for "High and Dry"/"Planet Telex". "How Can You Be Sure" also became a B-side, this time on the Fake Plastic Trees single. "Keep Strong" remained on many of their earliest live setlists for a longer than many other songs on the demo.
The song "Tell Me Bitch" features Colin Greenwood on vocals. This was their experiment at a Ska type song.
