Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke has assembled a backing band to perform his solo material live. Interestingly, the unnamed band includes Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Flea, long-time Radiohead producer Nigel Goldrich, Brazilian multi-instrumentalist Mauro Refosco and R.E.M. collaborator Joey Waronker. Here’s what Thom had to say on the band’s official website, Dead Air Space:
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.

The two shows will take place on the 4th and 5th of October.
