Sep 29, 2009 Thom Yorke By Laura Studarus

Just when you thought things were all quiet on the Radiohead-related front (ha!), Thom Yorke has decided—yet again—to flaunt his superior time management skills, bringing us another side project.

Lending credence to the belief that all cool people know each other, Yorke has gathered friends—including Red Hot Chili Pepper’s Flea and longtime cohort Nigel Godrich—for a two-night stint at Los Angeles’ Orpheum Theatre. The band will perform songs from Yorke’s 2006 solo album, The Eraser, as well as new songs. Explains Yorke via Dead Air Space:

“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”

Dates:

10/4—Orpheum Theater, Los Angeles
