Thom Yorke seems to be one of the most frequent appearing names in music news these days, but this time the news is sure to grab attention. With the steady release of new solo material over the past year or so, the Radiohead frontman posted on Radiohead's blog that he has formed a new solo band to perform this material. Joining Yorke in this band is Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich, Beck/REM drummer Joey Waronker, percussionist Mauro Refosco, and Red Hot Chili Peppers bass-wizard Flea. Personally, I'm psyched to see how Flea funk-rock slap riffs will fit in with Yorke's dark, heavier songwriting, but regardless, this is going to be an interesting project. The group only has two gigs lined up at the moment and they are October 4th and 5th at the Orpheum Theatre in Los Angeles. Lets keep our fingers crossed for some more dates in the future!
