Last night in Los Angeles, Radiohead’s Thom Yorke debuted his new band with a “public rehearsal” at the tiny Echoplex club. (Their first “official” shows are this Sunday at Monday at L.A.’s Orpheum Theatre.) 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”. (See below for the full set list, via At Ease.)
