The nameless band will be playing two shows. Once on Oct. 4th and one on Oct. 5th in Los Angeles.
Thom Yorke posted the following:
hi
in the past couple of weeks i’ve been getting a band together for fun to play the eraser stuff live and the new songs etc.. to see if it could work!
here’s a photo.. its me, joey waronker, mauro refosco, flea and nigel godrich.
at the beginning of october the 4th and 5th we are going to do a couple of shows at the Orpheum Theatre in Los Angeles.
we don’t really have a name and the set will not be very long cuz ..well …we haven’t got that much material yet!
but come and check it out if you are in the area. we’ve also got locals Lucky Dragons playing.
all the best
Just in case you have not heard any of Yorke’s solo material…
Tomorrow is going to be a great day for many. The Avett Brothers will finally release their CD entitled I & Love & You. This is going to be one of those albums that many folk talk about, I know it. This is going to be the album that takes the band and puts them in the spotlight where they deserve to stand.
The band just posted their first video from the album:
I adore this song. I adore this band. This is one of my favorite bands out there. I can not wait till this CD is in my hands on Tuesday morning.
Punk pop rockers New Found Glory (NFG) are asking fans for help in finding local opening acts for their small club headline shows the are playing in the upcoming months. They will be touring in support of their new album they released this past Spring called Not Without A Fight.
So how can you help you ask? Excellent question.
All you have to do is send a “Tweet” to @xchadballx and @steveisdareason on the popular mini-blog site Twitter the local band you think should open for them. They will pick the bands based upon the number of local requests they get.
What a novel idea… The dates for their headlining tour (they will also be touring with Dashboard Confessional this Fall too but this contest does not apply to those shows) are listed below. If you know of a local band you think should open for NFG then I suggest you tweet them a little message.
I have a couple local favorites in mind I will be tweeting them about… I suggest you do the same. Hell, even if you are in a band it could not hurt to tell them from perhaps a friend’s Twitter account how awesome your band is. You never know, they may ask you to open for them!
The above was reshaped and manipulated from a message from Chad Gilbert of NFG. Here’s his take on the whole idea as well as some other words:
Support Your Local Scene!
Before NFG head out on tour with Dashboard Confessional this fall we will be doing a limited amount of smaller intimate club shows. For the past few years NFG have not been able to hook up local bands due to a full traveling line up. We know how important it is to support local bands and local music scenes. That is how NFG got our start. We use to open locally in South Florida for bands like MxPx, the Get Up Kids, Unwritten Law,Bane etc. Playing those shows helped build our band and build our local scene. This tour will give us an opportunity to finally help out a little.
We ask you to “Tweet” @xchadballx and @steveisdareason some suggestions for local bands to open up the NFG show in their town. Please check http://www.myspace.com/newfoundglory for all the tour dates. Make sure you request bands only for our own headline shows, Not the shows we will be playing with Dashboard Confessional.
We do not want to piss any one off or discourage any bands so NFG will not be picking the specific band. We are just compiling a list of bands that we get the most requests for and submitting it to the local promoter to pick.
Also on all of these shows will be a fellow Floridian band called Fallen From The Sky and Pennsylvania’s TITLE FIGHT!
thanks so much and we hope to see you all this fall!
DONT LET HER PULL YOU DOWN the movie coming soon!
your friend always

Have any of you heard of Justin Towne Earle? Does the last name sound familiar? Well he is indeed the son of Steve Earle but also is an amazing Americana/Country/Folk artist from Nashville who captured my attention at Bonnaroo this year.
This Bloodshot Records artist thankfully kept going after he was fired from playing in his father’s band due to bad habits and overcame them. I may have mentioned him before here on the BHP site but today I was killing some time today and came across the video for “Midnight At The Movies” and was reminded of how much I really love this guy…
Honestly I feel like this guy is a modern day Hank Williams.
I recently found out that Justin Towne Earle will be coming to Cleveland for a December show with Dan Auerbach (The Black Keys) and his protege Jessica Lea Mayfield. You can bet your you know what I will be there that night. That is going to be an amazing show to end the year with.
Until then I have my copy of Midnight At The MoviesI will continue to spin here and there as well as the internet to watch countless videos and live performances.
I also found some downloads from his Daytrotter session. I adore his cover of The Replacements‘ “Can’t Hardly Wait”. Click HERE to check it out for yourself as well as a few other great tracks.
Here are a couple videos I found lately that I enjoy…

His politeness and well-mannerisms kill me…
