Thom Yorke plays a storming midday set at Latitude

Posted in Gigs on July 20th, 2009 by Alex

A Thom Yorke played a new track and some rarities in a rather daring midday solo slot at Latitude festival according to NME.com. What possessed that mad pixie to play this usually mortuary like slot is anyone’s guess (perhaps he was hoping that no-one would turn up), but never-the-less he apparently played storming set including classic rarities True Love Waits and fan favourite Follow Me Around among highlights from his solo album and recent Radiohead back catalogue.

I’d love to see him tour with a set like this – which of course he won’t. He’ll more likely play a one off show in a supermarket composed entirely of Talking Heads covers played on a Commodore 64.
