Radiohead Performs New Song For Haiti Benefit

By 

Will Butler

Last night, Radiohead performed a whopping 24-song set, including a brand-new track called "Lotus Flower," at the Music Box in Los Angeles to benefit the Oxfam Haiti-relief fund. The band had announced the show on its official Web site last Thursday morning. At 8 o'clock that night, a 39-hour ticket auction began, and by Saturday morning, Radiohead had raised more than half a million dollars for the charity. Notable attendees Sunday night included film director Paul Thomas Anderson, actor Daniel Craig, Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Flea (who has been performing new material with Thom Yorke) and many more.

The band played mostly works from its studio albums, but for the second encore, Yorke brought out a new song that had only been heard at his previous spur-of-the-moment L.A. shows in October. Here's a fan video of Yorke performing "Lotus Flower."
