(Picture: Wunmi Onibudo)“Must feel weird to get out finally, does for me,” Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke told a sold-out audience at Magazine on Saturday.
It was his new band The Smile’s first performance in front of a live audience since their unveiling at Glastonbury’s virtual event last summer. Made up of Radiohead bandmate Jonny Greenwood, Sons of Kemet drummer Tom Skinner and produced by long-term collaborator Nigel Godrich, the group delivered three separate gigs throughout the night in the intimate setting, all scheduled so fans around the world could tune in via livestream.
