We Are Scientists were joined by Lightspeed Champion as they thrilled a packed Other Stage audience with their unique brand of humorous rock.

The London troubadour played guitar and sung backing vocals on ‘After Hours’, the first single from We Are Scientists’ last album, ‘Brain Thrust Mastery’.

The New York duo raised smiles between songs with their trademark wit, suggesting that Glastonbury was the perfect place “to hump on the grass,” adding that “if you can’t find anybody to hump, there’s plenty of mud around, hump that.”

They also explained that festival-goers “should be dry on the outside, but wet on the inside, like a puppy’s nose,” but did find time to play hits including ‘The Great Escape’ and ‘This Scene Is Dead.’

Earlier, Lightspeed Champion had hinted at the collaboration while performing in the Guardian Lounge, where he also collaborated with Emmy The Great.

Stay tuned to Gigwise for the latest from Glastonbury throughout the weekend.
