Introducing Little Joy's final number at the Bowery Ballroom last night, multi-instrumentalist Binki Shapiro invited up some "very special New York friends." They turned out to be Regina Spektor and the Strokes' Fab Moretti, a sometime Little Joy bass player currently sitting out the band's current tour in order to record with his main outfit. Both sang the chorus to the band's most joyous song, "Brand New Start." Spektor looked like a shy NYU grad student pulled onstage, despite having headlined a massive Beacon Theatre show earlier in the month for which Little Joy opened. Moretti was less reserved, draping his Fonzie jacket over singer Rordrigo Amarante and signaling flames over Amarante, mock Hendrix-at-Monterey.
