Portishead Thrilled At Radiohead Cover Version

Portishead are thrilled at Radiohead's cover of their new single 'The Rip', according to band member Adrian Utley.


The cover, which can be heard in the video we posted earlier today, sees Radiohead's Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood playing the song live on acoustic guitars.


"Colin from the band emailed me to say they had been playing it and that they'd put it up on their site of them playing it in the dressing room - Thom and Jonny," Utley told BBC 6Music. "Thom sounds beautiful singing it, it was amazing, such a buzz."


Utley also went on to say that Portishead had no more plans for 2008, "I don't think we are going to be doing any more gigs this year no, but we'll possibly do some next year."
