Radiohead's Thom Yorke Forms New Band With Red Hot Chili Peppers' Flea!

September 29, 2009
Radiohead's Thom Yorke Forms New Band With Red Hot Chili Peppers' Flea!Thom Yorke has formed a new band with Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Flea, Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich, former REM live drummer Joey Waronker, and Brazilian musician Mauro Refosco.

The as-yet-unnamed outfit will play two shows at the Los Angeles Orpheum Theatre on October 4 and 5 which have already sold out.

In a posting on Radiohead's Dead Air Space page, Yorke wrote:

“hi
in the past couple of weeks i've been getting a band together for fun to play the eraser stuff live and the new songs etc.. to see if it could work!
here's a photo.. its me, joey waronker, mauro refosco, flea and nigel godrich."

"At the beginning of october the 4th and 5th we are going to do a couple of shows at the Orpheum Theatre in Los Angeles.
we don't really have a name and the set will not be very long cuz ..well ...we haven't got that much material yet!
but come and check it out if you are in the area. we've also got locals Lucky Dragons playing.
all the best

Thom”

Details of more live shows are yet to be announced.
