Watch: CHVRCHES Dedicate A Song To Harambe

Yep, the gorilla gets a shout out at Reading...

CHVRCHES dedicated a song to Harambe during their set at the weekend's Reading festival.

The Scottish trio gave the gorilla a shout out, with his controversial death sparking a hugely popular internet meme.

The set itself was yet another step forward from the three-piece, with the sound boasting renewed muscle and splendid attack.

Lauren Mayberry truly excels as a focal point for the group – could this be the same person who seemed to shy, so reserved at those early shows? Presumably so, but the change is enormous, and more than a little inspiring.
