Flea and Thom Yorke reaffirmed their collaboration at London’s Koko during Flea’s headline show with Atoms for Peace. Thom Yorke performed two songs, including “Traffic Lights,” a Yorke collaboration from Flea’s recent LP, and a cover of Marvin Gaye’s disco classic “Got to Give It Up.” Yorke took the microphone for both performances, with substantial jamming occurring in the middle of the songs. The event followed earlier post-Atoms for Peace linkups, including a brief full-band reunion in 2018 featuring Nigel Godrich and Joey Waronker. Flea and Yorke also collaborated on a song for the Edward Norton-directed film Motherless Brooklyn.
"Flea and Thom Yorke reaffirmed their unlikely kinship at London's Koko last night. The Radiohead frontman, having apparently also reunited with his 1997 barber, came out during his Atoms for Peace bandmate's headline show to perform a pair of songs: "Traffic Lights"-the Yorke collaboration from Flea's recent LP -and a cover of Marvin Gaye 's disco classic "Got to Give It Up." Yorke tales the microphone in both renditions, but there is a lot of jamming in the middle."
"Last night's collab was the latest in a series of post-Atoms for Peace linkups, including a brief reunion of the full band-also including Nigel Godrich and Joey Waronker-in 2018. Flea and Yorke later rendezvoused on a song for the Edward Norton-directed movie Motherless Brooklyn."
