Watch out The Raconteurs, it's an indie supergroup

Test Icicles frontman Devonte Hynes has formed a new band called Lightspeed Heat.

The band features Hynes with members of the Jack White-produced band Whirlwind Heat.

The band’s song ’How Do You Do’ is currently circulating around various blogs, though is not yet available on their Myspace site.

As previously reported, Hynes has formed another post–Test Icicles super-group called Naked Babes with members of Semifinalists and Tom Vek.
