Johnny Marr and Matt Johnson From The The’s Perform Together

For the first time in 25 years, The The’s Matt Johnson and Johnny Marr relived their younger days in London last night. 

First Bernard Sumner also joined the stage for ‘Electronic’, who invited Johnson to play a cover of The Lovin’ Spoonful’s ‘Summer In The City’. Johnny Marr was performing at The Roundhouse when the pair joined, promoting his successful as ever album Call The Comet. 

Marr spoke about collaborations which he would most like to happen:

“Last year I did a couple of things while I was making Call The Comet. I did a The The comeback single, which was their first for 15 or 16 years. That was a real joy, to be playing behind Matt Johnson again. I never really think the door is shut on The The, and I’ve got a feeling that Modest Mouse is a chapter that’s yet to be finished. Those are the two people I’d like to work with again.” He then added, “There are some people I just keep going back to: Pet Shop Boys, The The, Modest Mouse. You never say never, but I’ve got too many new things that I want to do.”

Johnny Marr played with the band from 1988-1994. See tour dates and footage of the reunion gig below.
