Thom Yorke Forms New Band Announces Los Angeles Dates Thom Yorke Forms New Band, Announces Los Angeles Dates

As if being one of rock’s most famous icons for the current generation and putting out a brand new single solo-style weren’t enough, Thom Yorke has decided to form a new band.

We suspected this but we didn’t expect the band to be another super-group! It looks like the best of the best are all teaming up together to make a substantial impact on music lovers. (Well, some of them.)

Last night, Yorke announced that the band includes Flea (Red Hot Chilli Peppers), Nigel Godrich (producer), Joey Waronker (Beck’s drummer), and Mauro Refosco. Along with that announcement on Dead Air Space, a statement was sent out emphasizing the fact that “Radiohead is not breaking up,” but that Yorke and his new super-group band will be playing the Orpheum Theatre in Los Angeles on October 4 and 5. Check his message out along with a link to the tickets!

hi
