Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke has posted on his blog that he is forming a new band. There has been a lot of news surrounding Yorke these days, between writing a song for the New Moon soundtrack and taking a break from Radiohead to write some solo work. This new band will be performing said solo material, and will include Nigel Godrich (Radiohead's producer), Joey Waronker (drummer for Beck and R.E.M), Maura Refosco, and Flea, bassist for the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
Here is the exact post:
