Oasis Hire NYC Street Musicians To Promote Next Record

Oasis’ new album Dig Out Your Soul doesn’t hits stores until October 7, but the British rock band agreed to give NYC locals and visitors a preview of three unreleased tracks via the instruments and voices of nearly 20 MUNY (Music Under New York) performers—who would eventually filter out to MTA subway platforms and streets throughout the City to perform the never-before-heard songs for passers-by, including many hardcore Oasis fans who were eager to hear the new tunes. The musicians gathered, practiced the tunes according to their diverse styles and eventually played for Oasis members, who swayed and clapped as the local NYC musicians jammed away.

I guess Oasis has to outsource playing live since Noel Gallagher’s on stage assault at a Toronto show.
