All reports out of LA are glowing for Thom Yorke , his supergroup (Flea, Nigel Godrich, Joey Waronker and Mauro Refosco), and their performances this past weekend at the Orpheum and the Echoplex. Playing a mix of songs off Thom's solo work The Eraser , Radiohead b-sides and new Radiohead songs (which are below from The Echoplex show). YANP has the mp3s.

Playing in a small club Friday night, Radiohead's Thom Yorke debuted his new band in a "low key" but very public dress rehearsal. Backed by some of music's greatest, Yorke played his entire 2006 solo album, The Eraser, along with some alternative takes on Radiohead songs and premiered four new songs, which he performed completely unaccompanied. ("Open The Floodgates", "Lotus Flower", "Skirting On The Surface", and "Judge, Jury, & Executioner" ) The band consists of Hot Chili Peppers bassist Flea, Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich , Beck/R.E.M. drummer [...]

I had to post these. I know you might have already seen them out there in the web, spinning around and being lusted after by every blog, but as a Radiohead fan, it is my duty. If you can handle that, dig in to the new songs "Lotus Flower", "Open The Floodgates", "Skirting On The Surface", and "Judge, Jury, Executioner" from Thom's recent performance (with his crisp new band) at the Echoplex in LA. And if you are dying to watch the whole concert, there's a link below to TwentyFourBit. They have the rest of the videos for you. [...]
Hace un tiempo les comenté que Thom Yorke iba a comenzar a tocar con Flea, el bajista de los Red Hot Chili Peppers y que, en mi opinión, es uno de lo mejores del mundo. No solo por lo bien que sabe hacer su trabajo sino también por el estilo y las ganas que poner a la hora de tocar. Los otros integrantes de la banda también son artistas consagrados: Joey Waronker, colaborador de REM, Mauro Refosco y el productor Nigel Godrich. El primer show que dieron juntos fue el viernes pasado y parece [...]
No big surprise, but apparently Thom Yorke used that LA supergroup show to play four new songs. Only one, "Open the Floodgates," has ever been heard before, so it's quite a treat. MP3: Thom Yorke - Judge, Jury, & Executioner (live, new) MP3: Thom Yorke - Lotus Flower (live, new) MP3: Thom Yorke - Open the Floodgates [...]

Thom Yorke announced on Thursday that his new band with Flea from Red Hot Chili Peppers, long time Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich , Joey Waronker (Beck, REM), and percussionist Mauro Refosco would be playing a show at the Echoplex on Friday night. I got lucky and I was able to go. The band played songs from Yorke's solo album The Eraser and new Yorke solo material. It was an amazing show, one of my favorites, and they're playing again tonight and tomorrow night at the Orpheum. Check out videos, mp3's, and [...]
Radiohead's very own Thom Yorke announced his new solo backing band earlier last week which included Red Hot Chili Pepper's Flea, longtime Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich, drummer Joey Waronker and Mauro Refosco. They announced collaborative live dates for October 4th and 5th, but what we didn't know was that a secret 'public rehearsal' was also on the cards which took place in the rather tiny Los Angeles Echoplex club last Friday, October 2nd.
As reported on many sites, including Stereogum and Buddyhead, a rake of videos have appeared detailing Thom Yorke's recent live solo shows at the Echoplex in Los Angeles. With a band featuring Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich and Flea, there's a definite up-beat vibe going on - with even Thom himself getting down to the funky bass...
