Radiohead to Perform The King of Limbs Live From the Basement
New material and tour dates from Radiohead, following the release of The King of Limbs and a pair of singles, might not be on the horizon, but we will be getting a chance to watch the band perform their eighth LP live this summer: On July 1, BBC Worldwide Music Television will broadcast a 55-minute performance, during which Radiohead will play their latest record in its entirety for an episode of longtime producer Nigel Godrich’s excellent webcast series, From the Basement.
In a press release (via Exclaim), manager Bryce Edge said the performance will be filmed and recorded by Godrich, “Dilly Gent, who commissioned many of the memorable Radiohead videos and Grant Gee, who filmed the Radiohead documentary Meeting People is Easy.”
As you may recall, Radiohead made a similar move after they released In Rainbows a few years ago, performing the album in a live New Year’s Eve webcast called Scotch Mist. Here’s hoping Thom Yorke breaks out some new dance moves, but while we wait, get a taste of what’s to come via the band’s last performance on From the Basement below:
