Thom Yorke announces new band
By CMU Editorial | Published on Tuesday 29 September 2009
Thom Yorke has announced the members of his new live band, with whom he’ll tour to perform some of his solo work, including tracks from his debut solo album ‘The Eraser’, as well as new material.
The group is made up of drummer Joey Waronker (who has previously worked with Beck, REM, The Smashing Pumpkins and Elliott Smith), Forro In The Dark percussionist Mauro Refosco, Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich, and Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Flea.
The band’s first shows together will be two nights at the Orpheum Theatre in LA on 4-5 Oct. Here’s a picture of them together to prove we’re not lying (or, at least, that they have all been in the same place at the same time before).
Announcing the new band, Yorke said: “We don’t really have a name and the set will not be very long because, well, we haven’t got that much material yet!”. However, it’s pretty safe to assume he’s got some ideas on a moniker – click here.
