From one of the most iconic DJs of our time, Porcelain is a funny and harrowing account of the NYC club scene in the '80s and '90s. When Moby arrived in New York, he was not only a poor, skinny kid from Connecticut, but also a Christian, a vegan, and a teetotaler. This was during the time when dance music was still largely underground in clubs like Palladium, Mars, and Limelight. By the end of the decade, Moby contemplated the end in his career and put everything into one last project - the multimillion-selling album Play. Porcelain is both a chronicle of a city and a time and a deeply intimate exploration of finding one’s place.
Important caveats:
>> This is a program based around Moby’s memoir Porcelain, not a musical performance. Moby will only be signing copies of Porcelain. He will not sign any merchandise.
>> Regarding photos: You can take photos of Moby in the signing line or during the program, but NO posed photos or selfies with him will be allowed.
>> Doors open at 6pm, the program will begin at 7pm, the signing will be held after the program. Wristbands for the signing line will be given on a first come, first served basis upon arriving at the venue. However, please note, the signing could take several hours to complete. Personalizations are not guaranteed.
