East London goes Gaga: Lady Gaga played a secret show at Moth Club last night

The ever-ridiculous Lady Gaga graced Hackney with her presence last night (Friday) in a surprise performance at Moth Club.

The pop star's new single 'Perfect Illusion', which has a production credit for Mark Ronson, was released first thing Friday morning, and by the afternoon online rumours were flying regarding the launch party.

In reality the gig was more of a guest appearance – the Lady herself only performed the new single and her mega-hit 'Bad Romance' – but when you're wearing micro-shorts as sparkly as the stage you're on does it even matter?

The hot, sweaty crowd had been waiting for nearly two hours by the time she appeared, so it was no small mercy that she'd brought Ronson along to DJ as the warm-up act. He played 'Uptown Funk' twice, but then it is an absolute banger.

Hopefully Gaga now has a taste for our Eastern nightspots. The meat dress would go down a storm in The Dolphin.
