Moby goes a'busking!

Sloane Square commuters get impromptu gig

28 Jan 2008 - Moby surprised Londoners at Sloane Square tube station this evening by playing a short set on the street.

The set was recorded for the BBC's Culture Show and saw Moby playing electric guitar and drums, whilst joined by vocalist Joy.

Moby performed tracks from his most well known albums, no new material was aired, including Why Does My Heart Feel So Bad and Natural Blues.

Moby then went into a simple blues-based jam, incorporating riffs from classic Led Zeppelin track Whole Lotta Love and Guns 'n Roses Sweet Child 'O Mine.

These fans were impressed: "I thought he might sing rather than the lady, she was good though! We felt quite sorry for the beggar over the road who was asking for money, we were hoping the proceeds would go to him after the gig. It was very interesting, it was very raw, that vocalist, she was amazing."

It seemed to brighten up a rather dull London evening for this punter: "It's a bit of a surprise on a Monday, when I'm really hungover, I didn't expect to see such a beautiful beacon, bald-headed beacon of light, his glasses framed his eyes beautifully."

Moby's sixth album, Last Night, is due out on March 31.
