A twelve hour set? A cameo from Moby?! That's just F*ed Up

So Fucked Up have been winning a lot of plaudits lately but, really, did anyone expect pretty much every credible musician on the planet to turn up and collaborate with the Toronto hardcore-punks at their mammoth twelve hour performance in New York recently?

The star-studded list includes J. Mascis, Les Savy Fav's Tim Harrington, Vampire Weekend's Ezra Koening and Vivian Girls, but, best and most surprising of all, check out the video below for a guest appearance from none other than Moby on a cover of Ramones classic 'Blitzkrieg Bop'.

Fucked Up tour the UK in November in support of new album The Chemistry Of Common Life, calling at the following destinations:

November

7 London 93 Feet East

8 Brighton Freebutt

9 Birmingham Barfly

10 Oxford The Zodiac

11 Exeter Cavern

12 Cardiff Clwb Ifor Bach

13 Stoke Sugarmill

14 Nottingham Bodega

15 Coventry Kasbah

16 Glasgow King Tut's

17 Sheffield Corporation

18 Leeds Cockpit

19 Manchester Roadhouse

Wow.

Was it literally a 12 hour set from them? How did that even work? Review!

They took breaks...

... and let others do bits, apparently, but that doesn't sound as good in the headline does it? ;)

Moby filled in for 2 days as lead singer of Flipper in their really good days

and has a guy from Void in his live band so is really clued up on his Hardcore.

Sh!t

he used to play in a hardcore band in the early 80s

he lives in a loft in new york and has about forty gazillion records. from the look of it his collection rivals that of peel acres.

You'd think a guy who could do 12 hour sets

would be thinner

didn't he do 'rock' stuff as Moby in the early '90s too?

I remember him being on telly doing 'that's when I reach for my revolver' and it being vaguely hardcore. My memory may be all wrong though (and I can't be doing with the googling to find out)
