Everyone, meet Hannah Montana Miley Cyrus's brother, Trace Cyrus.

The band's electronic instrumentation and poppy vocals will both be on display tonight as Metro Station supports Cobra Starship (MySpace), the motherfuckin' band trying to board the motherfuckin' plane, at the......

'Twas the Sunday after Valentine's Day and all through the World Cafe Live, folks were stirring about, probably even mice. A familiar face graced the stage to prepare the audience for the night's headlining act. It was none other than Dawn Landes. Her weapon of choice varies (electric guitar, acoustic guitar, piano). Her songs, though, remain the same. At times upbeat and hopeful; at times, introspective and hopeless. She's touring the country in support of......

Tomorrow night, One Republic is playing The Trocadero. We've never heard of them, and outside of the song that automatically pops up on their MySpace page, we have no idea what their music sounds like. So why are we previewing their show? Because their opening act is Eric Hutchinson (MySpace) whom we fell in love with when we caught him co-headlining at the World Cafe Live with Philly's own Matt Duke. So much so, in......
