Everyone, meet Hannah Montana Miley Cyrus's brother, Trace Cyrus. He's taken his Achy Breaky genetics and taken a sharp left toward electronica with his band Metro Station (MySpace), and he's taken Mason Musso, brother of Hannah Montana co-star Michel Musso, along for the ride. 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......

Today is another irresponsibly light day when it comes to Can't Miss This! fare. It's not that we don't love you, it's just that we are very popular and everyone wants to spend time with us and, some days, it gets out of control. Like today. So, here's the short-and-sweet skinny on what you should do tonight instead of staying home to defragment your hard drive. Nerd. THE LEGACY OF 1808: THE EMANCIPATION PROCLAMATION......

Looking for something to do tonight? February boring you? Feel a primal need to fight the snow and the ice bearing down on our fair city? Check out The Bravery (with guests The Switches and Your Vegas) at the Fillmore at the TLA. No less than the Village Voice has proclaimed them 'New York's Next Big Thing' and the venerable Auntie Beeb called them 2005's (okay, we know it's 2008) most promising act. We'll see......

If you were one of the dozens of people scrambling for a ticket to the extremely sold out The Hold Steady show at North Star Bar last year who got shut out, listen up: the Brooklyn-based rockers are playing the Fillmore at the TLA tonight, and tickets are available. A year ago, as the band rode a wave of popular and critical acclaim, the thought was it would be playing to packed theaters by now;......

Seattlest watches as a S.L.U.T. is born and Seattle Flickr users go nuts over a local art installation. A restaurant critic demands a Diner's Bill of Rights over a gnat next to her drink, and, in lieu of a Portlandist, Seattlest debates with itself over the identity of the Northwest's crown jewel. Seattlest also joins the guys from Fantagraphics for an ill-fated gun party in the woods. Bostonist got a crash course in what not......

Any frequent reader of Phillyist would know that the staff here goes in for retro-sounding harmonies in a big way. That's always been one of the big appeals of Idaho-based Built to Spill (MySpace) for us: their polished, psych-rock harmonies on top of some early-90s garage band-sounding riffs. While we were a little underwhelmed by their latest effort, You in Reverse (it's nice, pretty background music, but not nearly as fun as some of their......

We'll be honest. The main reason we want to see The Polyphonic Spree is to see how they logistically put together a concert with their twenty-four-plus-member band. Promoting peace with energized anthems and thoughtful ballads, The Polyphonic Spree will impress you with their music and symbolic clothing choices: this time, it's black military-style fatigues, replacing their well-known robes. Tim DeLaughter, the musical director and co-leader, Julie Doyle fuse strings, brass, choir into an exuberant......
