Radiohead Shares Brisbane Pub Choir Version Of ‘Creep’

There’s no show quite like a Pub Choir show. You walk in as a punter and walk out as a performer.

Pub Choir shows include packed-out rooms singing classics like Africa by Toto, Backstreet Boys’ I Want It That Way, the Bee Gees’ How Deep Is Your Love, Coldplay’s Yellow, The Winner Takes It All by ABBA and heaps more. But what happens when a band they’ve covered happens to see a video from a Pub Choir concert? Will they get it?

Over the weekend, Radiohead shared Pub Choir’s rendition of their Pablo Honey classic, Creep, performed at the Fortitude Music Hall in Brisbane in 2022. Sharing the video on their Instagram Stories, the British rockers described the performance as “wholesomeness”.

Reacting to the band’s Instagram Story, Pub Choir wrote on social media: “Radiohead. As in, actual Radiohead.

“THE Radiohead saw Pub Choir's cover of Creep and shared it online calling it ‘Friday Wholesomeness’. Anyway, Astrid [Jorgensen, founder and director of Pub Choir] will never recover from this excitement!!!!!! Were you there? Brisbane never misses 🎯 Ahhhh!!!!”

In a follow-up post, Pub Choir mentioned their forthcoming tour dates and added, “Radiohead liked our rendition of Creep 🤯 were you there? Another night of Brisbane magic!!!”

Pub Choir will perform across Australia and New Zealand on their Honest Feedback tour in October and November. Dates in Brisbane, Canberra, Perth, Sydney, Gold Coast, and Melbourne have already sold out. You can find the remaining tickets to the tour here.

Last month, Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke announced his first-ever solo tour dates in Australia and New Zealand, where he’ll bring a new solo show packed with versions of songs from his “recent and not so recent past”.

Yorke’s Everything tour begins in New Zealand (Wednesday, 23 and Friday, 25 October) before he heads to Australia for two shows at Melbourne’s Sidney Myer Music Bowl (Tuesday, 29, and Wednesday, 30 October), and the Sydney Opera House Forecourt (Friday, 1, and Saturday, 2 November).

From there, he’ll head to Singapore and Japan and wrap up the tour in Kyoto on Tuesday, 26 November. The Sydney shows and the second Melbourne show are sold out.

Radiohead last visited Australia in November 2012.
