New Music from Thom Yorke

Thom Yorke debuted his new band with a "public rehearsal" at the tiny Echoplex club this past weekend. Backed by Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Flea (who did, in fact, keep his shirt on), Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich, Beck/R.E.M. drummer Joey Waronker, and percussionist/multi-instrumentalist Mauro Refosco of Forro in the Dark, Yorke performed his 2006 solo album The Eraser in its entirety, Radiohead fansite At Ease Web reports. For the encore, Yorke premiered four new songs completely solo: "Open the Floodgates", "Lotus Flower", "Skirting on the Surface", and "Judge, Jury, Executioner". The band then returned for takes on the Radiohead Com Lag EP track "Paperbag Writer" and the new 12" tracks "The Hollow Earth" and "Feeling Pulled Apart by Horses". Take a listen to Lotus Flower and Skirting on the Surface more bootlegs here.
