It's true. I read it on Pitchfork.

Quote:

The steady flow of recent Thom Yorke news continues with an exciting new development. Yorke has posted on Radiohead's blog that he has started a new band to perform his solo material. The band (pictured above) consists of himself, Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich, Beck/R.E.M. drummer Joey Waronker, percussionist/multi-instrumentalist Mauro Refosco, and... Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Flea. Yes, Flea.
Two shows have been scheduled for the as-yet-unnamed band: October 4 and 5 at the Orpheum Theatre in Los Angeles. Thom writes, "the set will not be very long cuz ..well ...we haven't got that much material yet!"

Flea is bad-ass.... Hope Thom does not make him play whiney emo crap.

What a weird cast. Joey Waronker?

He was on TMZ last night. Best thing he's done since Ok Computer.

ZING!

smart move by thom. he was in desperate need of indie cred.

Whoa.

I wonder if he's having any creative differences with the rest of Radiohead. I recall a quote from Ed that said he'd like it if Thom showed his ideas to the rest of the band before choosing to work on solo material. The idea of him forming another band specifically to play his own material seems weird. Hope things are all right.

I heard a Chili Peppers song on the radio and I was reminded as I often am, Flea is a fucking animal on the bass. He's such a mastery of it. It kinda bums me out that I don't like RHCP so much, good band but not great, so I don't listen to them ever..Blood Sugar Sex Magic is their materpiece for me, but fuck he's amazing isn't he?
Love him.

Agree 100%.... He could do much better than RHCP. He is an incredible bass player, unreal to see play live.
