The New Year heralds in Moby magic

Electronic maestro Moby is touring Oz over the new year.

Headlining shows across the country, the world's most popular vegan will be playing the Falls Festival in Melbourne and Tasmania, Sunset Sounds in Brisbane, and Southbound in Western Australia.

Tickets are yet to go on sale but demand is expected to be huge with a ballot process already in place for each of the festivals.

There is rumour that he'll also be doing NYE at Shore Thing on Bondi Beach.

Playing to sell out concerts when last here in 2003, Moby will be bringing with him the fruits of his latest album, Wait For Me.


Interviewed on suicidegirls.com about it he said, "I wanted to make a really emotional, beautiful record. I don't know if I've succeeded, but my goal was to make something very personal, very melodic, very beautiful."

With his 1999 masterpiece Play selling over 1o million copies, Moby's track record can only stand him in good stead for this latest addition to his album armoury.

A musical prodigy he plays the keyboard, bass guitar, guitar and drums, and recorded Wait For Me entirely in his own home studio.

The first track from it, 'Shot in the Back of the Head', was directed by Twin Peaks creator, David Lynch.

"i'm (sic) happy to announce that david lynch has done the video for it. he (sic) is my favorite film director, and i'm really happy to have him as the first video director on 'wait for me'," Moby said via his blog.

Moby added that the animation in the video is, ‘very dark and beautiful’.



Tickets go on sale real soon so keep checking back for further updates.

Keep groovin',
