Oasis Definitely, Maybe Playing NYC Subways

New York City is famous for many things: the Empire State Building, immigration, pizza, Donald Trump. But we'd be remiss not to mention the folks who make this rich and vibrant city a little more musical, a little more colorful and, in some cases, helluva lot weirder: the buskers. While most have that whole marching-to-a-different-drum thing going on, there will be a whole slew of musicians singing the same tune in the Big Apple on Friday, when more than 30 performers will be covering nothing but new Oasis songs at various locations (including Times Square, Penn Station, Astor Place and Grand Central subway platforms) as a special promotion around the band's not-so-secret NYC show the same night at Terminal 5.

The band's label tells Spinner that one of the Gallagher brothers may even be making a surprise appearance with one of the acts, who are volunteers from MTA's Music Under New York Program and will be taught the tunes by the band themselves during an intimate rehearsal session that morning. We imagine the day to be a little like Where's Waldo?, only Waldo in this case has a mop top, cigarette and, should it be Noel, a body bandage.
