Rebecca Black. Yes, "Friday". Yes, THAT "Friday". Now an evolving pop artist in the ever shape-shifting world of hyperpop: a remix by Dylan Brady (100 gecs) certainly suggests some recognition in the world. I have no idea what kind of performance she's doing - and note this is Metro Social, not the main room. Might be an interesting pop gig to check out though!

Panic! At The Metro
W/ Aburden, Closure, Alera, Finding Better Health
Panic! At The Metro is a monthly punk/hardcore night. Their first show had a strong lineup, and despite not knowing anything about these bands I'm going to take a punt and guess these folks know what they're doing. If you know more than us about these bands, drop us a line. We'd love to hear your take and we can post it here instead!
