Moby Discovers Show Opportunity Online
So, Moby just happened to Google Alert himself run across this music blog that wrote a (video) post asking him to play their anniversary party since their headliner had canceled (headlining was The Teeth, who broke up...and broke stuff at our CMJ show last year). The video message, which offered $1,000 to play the show, also went out to Win Butler, Kate Nash and Ben Gibbard. Moby responded "yes" (aww). And Hoboken ladies: he's ready for an after-party:
so, as i spend way too much time on the aforementioned internet and i have free time on april 10th and i love to play if there's an audience and/or beer involved, saw his request and i emailed him and said, 'i'd be happy to play at your party'. then he wrote back and, to paraphrase, said, 'great'. so i'm playing at his party.The show is this Thursday, and tickets are only 8 bucks (still on sale as of this moment)! If you make the trek to Jerz, you'll also be able to catch the lovely Salt & Samovar, who are also on the bill. Maybe we should have asked Moby to deejay our pizza party tonight.i'll be doing drunken cover songs of my own songs and drunken cover songs of other
people's songs. i'm particularly excited to play a cover of 'new dawn fades'. which i rarely(and/or 'often')play.p.s-the bars in new jersey close early, so i'm not sure what we'll be doing after the show. but we'll be up late, as both me and my bandmates are, for lack of a better term, "alcoholics". we're open to post 1:45 a.m suggestions. thanks.

I don't know if the pizza is vegan, so it's just as well. But I bet some parents will be writing "Can Moby DJ my child's bar/bat mitzvah?" posts right now!
If you'd ever met him, you'd probably pay him $1,000 not to come to your party.
I used to serve him smart drinks at Shelter back in the day. I would definitely pay "Mopey" $1000 not to come to my party
MOBY is the whiniest bitch on the planet. The biggest hypocrite too. He'll moan and groan about saving the planet but sell his music to any and all. How the can you protest against consumerism when you are pimping yourself out in gap commercials?
