Thom Yorke To Perform With His New Band

Thom Yorke is to perform live with his new band, in the U.S. in less than a week.

The Radiohead frontman has two shows lined-up at the Orpheum Theater in Los Angeles on October 4 and 5, when he'll be performing songs from his debut solo LP 'The Eraser' as well as new material.

Joining Yorke in the new musical project are Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Flea, producer Nigel Godrich and drummer Joey Waronker.

Speaking about the gigs, Thom Yorke says: "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."

"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."
