PARIS, Dec 4 — Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke and Red Hot Chili Peppers’ bassist Flea teamed up once more to play as Atoms for Peace on the eve of French music festival Pathways to Paris.

As invited guests on the December 3 edition of French TV show Le Grand Journal, Yorke and Flea played the song after which their band was named, “Atoms for Peace.”

The track was lifted from Yorke’s debut solo album, “The Eraser.”

Their performance came on the evening before two-day festival Pathways to Paris, an event raising awareness of issues surrounding climate action and the 2015 UN Climate Change Conference, COP 21, which takes place in the French capital.

Flea said that his “heart is warmed by all the people that have so much love and care for the planet,” while Yorke emphasised the need to find an international agreement on energy use.

“This is all we’ve got,” he said.

“If do we actually have an agreement [after Paris], it’s a starting point.”

Punk icon Patti Smith and daughter Jesse Paris Smith, BET and MTV Europe award nominee Fally Ipupa, Tibetian musician Tenzin Choegyal, and the post-rock and avant garde composer Rebecca Foon will also attend 350.org’s Pathways to Paris, as will authors Vandana Shiva, Bill McKibben, and fellow Grand Journal guest Naomi Klein. — AFP-Relaxnews
