The Moth Club in Hackney, London played host last week to the relaunch of Club NME, a Friday night staple from the early 2000’s.
Clubgoers payed their £5.50 at the door (just under 7 U.S. dollars) expecting a DJ spinning danceable indie rock and maybe a live set. They certainly got the latter, as Dave Grohl from the Foo Fighters popped in as an unexpected special guest. And he brought along a guest of his own: 80s pop icon Rick Astley.
Imagine paying 7 bucks to get into a random Friday night club night and having Dave Freaking Grohl show up and play a short set? It’s madness. Click here for the full story from NME, including Astley sitting in on drums for covers of “Times Like These” and “Never Gonna Give You Up,” and check out the video below.
