Johnny Marr has made his latest collaboration with The The available as a single. The guitarist was joined by Matt Johnson for a performance of The Lovin’ Spoonful classic Summer In The City at his recent London show at the Roundhouse. It was the first time the pair have performed live together since Johnny’s last gig as a member of The The back in 1993. “It’s been great to record with Matt again and to play alongside his amazing voice”, says Johnny. “The The is part of my life and we both always loved Summer In The City. We’ve made it our own.” The single version of the track was recorded during soundcheck at the Roundhouse. Marr was a member of The The for the acclaimed albums Mind Bomb and Dusk, and last featured on The The’s 2017 song, We Can’t Stop What’s Coming.
