Thom Yorke is the singer of Radiohead. But he ' s also the high-spirited leader of a new 'supergroup'. And Mauro from Forro In The Dark is part of it too!
Not exactly world news, but still extremely interesting: at the start of this month the Radiohead frontman gave a number of concerts in L.A. Not with his regular british friends, but rather with Flea (best known from Red Hot Chili Peppers), Nigel Godrich (Radiohead producer amongst other things), and even two percussionists: Joey Waronker (the likes of R.E.M.) and Mauro Refosco (mainly from Forro In The Dark!) This occasional supergroup (?) presented mainly funky versions of Thom's solo escapades plus new material. Something which might well be world news: on the links and according to the reports, the concerts were extremely intense and the generally not so lively Thom Yorke even broke into dance. You?re sure to do the same when Mauro Refosco comes to the ABClub with his Forro In The Dark, on Wednesday 4 November. They will then be playing after exquisite pianist Roberto Fonseca. It?s known as a 'late night concert' and that still means that those who have a ticket for Fonseca in the hall can go see Forro for free in the club afterwards! Tell the world!
