MySpace Music is excited to announce an upcoming Secret Show presented by TurboTax® Federal Free Edition featuring Metro Station and Hey Monday as the opening band. The intimate concert will take place on Tuesday, January 20 at 7 pm at Soma Sidestage in San Diego. Both bands are touring with Fall Out Boy and this show marks their only scheduled appearance in the San Diego area. The Secret Show performance will be held exclusively for MySpace users, who were notified today via MySpace.
Metro Station is a rapidly rising Hollywood-based electro-pop/rock quartet. The band’s first single from their eponymous debut, “Shake It,” was a top 5 pop radio hit and reached platinum status. The video for the single was viewed almost a million times on its MySpace page.
Opening the Secret Show will be the invigorating new pop/punk band Hey Monday, who recently released their debut album Hold On Tight and are signed to Pete Wentz’s (Fall Out Boy) Decaydance Records through Columbia Records. Led by 19-year old female vocalist Cassadde Pope, the band is quickly drawing a big following, and their debut video for the track “Homecoming” pulled in over 600,000 video plays during its premiere week on MySpace Music. MySpace Music has organized nearly 200 Secret Shows since the franchise launched in February 2006 with artists like The Cure, Gnarls Barkley, The Offspring, Neil Diamond, Slayer, Franz Ferdinand, and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs performing in cities around the world.
