Thom Yorke forms new band, announces two nights in Los Angeles
When word came of Thom Yorke’s latest solo endeavors earlier this month, word also came that the Radiohead frontman might tour in support of the release.
Well, as it turns out, a Yorke solo tour, or whatever you call two dates in Los Angeles next month, will indeed be happening.
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
So, to recap, just in case you missed any of the above thanks to another of those Radiohead induced comas, Thom Yorke, along with drummer Joey Waronker, percussionist Mauro Refosco, bassist Flea (of Red Hot Chili Peppers duh!), and longtime Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich, will take to the Orpheum Theatre in Los Angeles on back-to-back nights in early October for performances featuring material from Yorke’s solo album, Eraser, and his recently released 12″, but because this apparently isn’t much material, it won’t be very long. Oh yeah, and Lucky Dragons will be opening.
Epic.
Tickets, priced at $47.00, will go on sale starting Tuesday, September 29th at 10:00 am PDT. Tickets for night one here, night two here.
Lucky bastards to all who attend.
If it wasn’t for seeing this article just the night before the show went on sale, I wouldn’t have known about it, much less gotten tickets. Now I have a friend coming over from Kansas for the show and I’m really looking forward to it. Thanks for posting.
and I believe its sold out. just like that. unless there is some promo code….?
I just saw Thom Yorke walking around the Guitar Center paking lot on Sunset.
I had no idea that he was playing in October so I thought that the man I made eye contact
with was a look-a-like. I should’ve said SOMETHING!!! Grr…I’ll go buy those tickets now…
and it wont be a long show like the usual 3 hours of a radiohead show. im guessing hour and half two hours.
4th row!!! im so excited for this show.
Gots my tix!!!!
I swear, my mouth dropped for like two minutes.
$47 for a “not very long” set… ridiculous
you think you can delete this post and put it up at 10 01?
i hope to god i get tickets
Holy shit. Bring that to NYC.
