So maybe Fucked Up's nutty 12-hour marathon show yesterday at Rogan on Manhattan's Lower East Side didn't feature guest appearances from everybody the band promised-- guess the Edge and Akon had better things to do?-- but the unique concert did rope in some notable names.

Les Savy Fav's Tim Harrington turned up to join the band on covers of hardcore classics by Agnostic Front and Underdog, while Vampire Weekend's Ezra Koenig surprised many of the gathered by turning in spirited covers of songs by the Ramones, the Descendents, and Blitz. Other guests (not pictured) included J Mascis, Moby, Vivian Girls, original Cro-Mags frontman John Joseph, and Matador's own Gerard Cosloy. Fucked up? Sure, but only in the best of ways.

Fucked Up's The Chemistry of Common Life LP is out now on Matador, and the band keeps right on rolling with a tour that continues tonight in NYC.
