Well, it looks like the super group backing band for Yorke (with producer Nigel Godrich, drummer Joey Waronker, multi-instrumentalist Mauro Refosco, and bassist Flea), finally has an official and sensible name.
Yorke announced it himself on Radiohead’s blog, Dead Air Space, and revealed the following:

Despite just releasing their album, Now We Can See, in April, Portland, Oregon-based indie-punk band, The Thermals, have already begun working on a new album. They’ve even gone as far setting a release date of September 7, 2010!

We previously announced that Daft Punk would be going on tour in support of the Tron Legacy soundtrack, but what internet geeks and music lovers found on message boards in the past month was a complete lie.
The dates for the upcoming Daft Punk 2010 tour dates were supposedly “leaked,” and larger publications such as NME even started to announce them on their site. We at BeatCrave did not publish these dates and we’re glad we didn’t because they are fake! It turns out those dates were just a mere rumor, but don’t worry – Daft Punk WILL be going on tour soon.

For those of you who follow Grizzly Bear‘s Edward Droste on Twitter, you may have gotten worried after seeing a certain tweet. Grizzly Bear was unfortunately involved in a bus accident after a show in Munich Germany on November 14th.

Grizzly Bear is one of those bands that never fails to come up with crazy music videos as the majority of them are more like short films. The new video for the wonderful “Ready, Able” is no different. It’s directed by Allison Schulnik and is done in clay animation with colorful monsters that melt as one. It’s really is a trip. In other news, Grizzly Bear has extended their tour through the UK and Europe that will continue into the Spring of 2010.

Andrew Bird has been known to sell out venues ever since people realized his layered samples of violin, mandolin, guitar and whistling was something cool for a guy to do all by himself.
However, the unconventional singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist has decided to take his upcoming tour outside of the arenas and into more “sacred” spaces. This winter, Bird will be taking his heavenly sounds into… church!
