Guest Low Roller Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 According to the Radiohead website, Thom Yorke has started up a new band to perform his solo material with. Here is the line-up: - Thom Yorke - Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich, - Beck/R.E.M. drummer Joey Waronker, - Percussionist/multi-instrumentalist Mauro Refosco, - Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Flea. Sounds good so far. The band has no name, but they have already scheduled a couple of shows for, uhm, next week. Two shows in L.A. on Oct. 4th and 5th... I'm pretty excited about this sudden development. They even have a promo shoot picture: Credit: Pitchfork Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flipzoso Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 One of the best thing about the members of Radiohead is their awesome, non-lazy, work ethic. Thom and co. are always up to something and its such a treat to be able to witness (maybe not in first person but I mean as a fan) it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollie Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 One of the best thing about the members of Radiohead is their awesome, non-lazy, work ethic. Yeah, it must be quite the hardship to be making music with your rockstar friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This band sounds nothing like Radiohead. Much more psychadelic. My opinion: SICK as FUCK. Check out 'Pulled Apart By Horses' and 'Cymbal Rush' for sure.

bradm Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 (edited) A torrent of an audio recording of the Oct. 4, 2009 show at the Orpheum in LA is available:http://bt.etree.org/details.php?id=528743Aloha,Brad Edited October 7, 2009 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Low Roller Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 Thanks for this BradM! I'm on it and will report back on the quality of the recording. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Low Roller Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 Hmm... Unless you *really* need to hear a full show start to finish, I would pass on this recording unless you're good at audio engineering and can tweak with the recording to make it sound better.I can only describe it as sounding too bright with no discernable bass. It sounds like it was taped from far away as there is some echo as well.There are better sounding recordings on YouTube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Low Roller Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 This site posted amazing recordings of three of the songs: Harrowdown Hill, Judge Jury Executioner, and Open the Floodgates. Here's hoping that the full recording surfaces from this source as it's the best I've heard thus far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Low Roller Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 Real good audience source of the complete Echoplex show on Oct. 2nd. Lots of chatter, but music drowns that mostly out. This is the best full show audio I have found thus far. Still hoping for the source of the above post to become available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booche Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 Thank you. We have a to and fro drive tomorrow and this is on tap along with the Garcia-Lesh-Weir-Hart acoustic set KK posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Low Roller Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 I hope that you enjoy it. I just finished listening to it, and I was suitably happy with it. Could it be better? Yes. Is there anything better out there right now? No.My only issue with it is the HORRIBLE chop-job done on editing out the crowd noise in between tunes. Not only is the crowd noise cut out, but so is the first lines for some songs. Sloppy and lazy.It's still a great show though. Feeling Pulled Apart By Horses is probably as close to jamband as Thom Yorke will ever get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradm Posted October 10, 2009 Report Share Posted October 10, 2009 There's a torrent of a Schoeps source for the Oct. 5 Orpheum show:http://bt.etree.org/details.php?id=528836The comments in the torrent also include links to MegaUploads of MP3 and FLAC versions of the recording.Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Low Roller Posted October 10, 2009 Report Share Posted October 10, 2009 (edited) I *heart* Bradm.AWESOME source. The thing with these three shows is that the setlist is essentially the same for each show, so really the quest is not to get a copy of each show, but just to get the best sounding recording regardless of the show. So far this is the copy to get. Edited October 10, 2009 by Low Roller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booche Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 The promise is certainly there but I found what I listened to in the car very inconsistent. The stuff I loved, I fucking loved but there were definitely moments when I was bored....which is certainly understandable.Drummer/percussion shit is awesomeawesome at many moments. I'ld notice my car would be creeping to 150km/hr and would have kept rising if I didnt snap out of it. Dont tell Douglas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
