Thom Yorke Supergroup To Play Debut Gig Tonight (October 2)

Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke's new side-project, which includes Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Flea, are to play live for the first time tonight (October 2) in Los Angeles.

The band, which has yet to be given a name, will take to the stage at the Echoplex at 9pm.

In a message on Radiohead's website, Yorke said he expected the gig to be “total chaos”, adding: “It's kind of a rehearsal.”

The band's other members are Radiohead's producer Nigel Godrich, former REM live drummer Joey Waronker and Brazilian musician Mauro Refosco.

They are due to play two sold-out shows at Los Angeles' Orpheum Theatre on October 4 and 5.
