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!
