Not long ago we ran a story about a record breaking DJ in Cyprus playing for the best part of the working week and just catching a couple of hours sleep here and there, now it's the turn of the guitar strummers.

Fucked Up, who are following the pattern set by Fuck Buttons and Holy Fuck, for bating pre-watershed radio presenters are playing this gig to promote their new album The Chemistry of Common Life

Playing instruments for twelve hours is a lot harder than mixing – you could probably play a Ricardo Villalobos set and only have to change records about twenty times over twelve hours, but Fucked Up are a hardcore band. They play fast and they play hard and probably won't make it on their own through the day. That's why they've put a message up on their blog saying that anyone can come down and play with them. If you're in New York on Oct 18, here's your big opportunity to sweat it out in a shop window.
