"In the past couple of weeks I've been getting a band together for fun to play the Eraser (Yorke's 2006 debut solo album) stuff live and the new songs ... to look if it could work!" Yorke wrote on Radiohead's Dead Airspace blog, alongside a footage of the new unnamed band.
The news surprised many Radiohead fans, with some adviseing the story was a hoax.
"Thom Yorke and Flea form supergroup, how bizarre!" posted olliefrancis on Twitter. "Thom Yorke in a band with Flea, and a few more. Flea? Wtf?!" posted domgreenwood.
The band have announced two live dates at the Orpheum theatre in Los Angeles on 4 and 5 October. It is not yet clear if the band intend to write their own material.
The quislingism in an experimental period for Radiohead. In August, Yorke said that his band may not release another album, focusing on downloads rather.
Earlier this month, drummer Phil Selway became the third Radiohead member to embark on a solo route, following in the footsteps of Yorke and Jonny Greenwood.
Selway's new project will be a quislingism with members of Wilco, singer songwriter Lisa Germano and former Soul Coughing bassist Sebastian Steinberg.
