Demi and Trace have been Twittering each other like crazy for the past few days. The tweets have lots of sweet, BF/GF-type references such as "scary movies," "the Eiffel tower," and the "<3" symbol. Look what Demi Twittered to Trace:

Remember, Demi has gotten super-close to Trace's sister, Miley lately! Wonder if Miley played matchmaker? (PS: Trace is single! He broke up with his GF, Hanna Beth, back in November.)
MANILA, Philippines—American electropop band Metro Station was formed in 2006 but discovered only after its song “Seventeen Forever” topped MySpace Music’s Unsigned charts.
Composed of Mason Musso (vocalist, rhythm guitarist), Trace Cyrus (lead guitarist, vocalist), Anthony Improgo (drummer) and Blake Healy (keyboardist, bassist), Metro Station recorded a self-titled, 10-track debut album that landed in various music charts. The band’s gigs at Ayala Malls continues tonight, 7 p.m. at TriNoma, and tomorrow, 6:30 p.m. at Alabang Town Center. Describe your musical style and name your biggest influences.
Mason: We call it synth-pop; that’s the easiest way to describe it. For the album, we were influenced by a lot of ’80s music, and one of the biggest was a band called Postal Service. We were also influenced by New Order, Depeche Mode and OMD.
Trace: Mason and I really got into this electronic-style music. We were into dance clubs. We wanted to accomplish getting the atmosphere—how people dance to music—and we feel that we found that with our music. Trace, did you always intend to make music different from your dad’s (Billy Ray)?
Trace: I’ve always wanted to do music ever since I was a child. But I didn’t know I wanted to do electronic music until I met Mason. I was writing songs on my acoustic guitar and he was making different types of songs … How do you divide singing duties?
Trace: We figure out what part of the song is gonna be sung better by which singer. Mason has a totally different vocal style. We were working on a song the other night. It’s like, “You should sing this part,” and “I should come in here.” It’s just agreed upon.
What subject is easiest to write about?
Mason: Women.
Trace: Girls, relationships—it’s a big thing. We just try to write about anything that’ll reach a large number of people. If kids can’t relate to it, there’s no point in writing it.
Blake, how different was it before you joined the band?
Blake: I went to Los Angeles, not knowing exactly what I wanted to do with music, and I happen to get into a really great situation with these guys. I feel really lucky. What’s the most important thing about making music?
Mason: Love what you’re doing.
Trace: As long as you know you’re happy, nothing else should ever matter. What’s the best thing about being in Metro Station?
Trace: I have my best friends with me and I’m making music so it’s the best of both worlds. These guys are my new family.
Mayday Parade also will play. Doors open at 6 p.m. and the all-ages show begins at 6:30 p.m.
Metro Station’s song “Shake It” from their self-titled debut album is a Top 10 Billboard single. The band includes Mason Musso (vocals, guitar), Trace Cyrus (vocals, guitar), Blake Healy (synth, beats, bass) and Anthony Improgo (drums).
Metro Station recently announced a fall tour with Miley Cyrus.
Tickets go on sale 10 a.m. today. Tickets are $20 (plus applicable fees) and are available at Last Stop CD Shop, 1-800-882-4275 and online at www.jadepresents.com.
Touring with your little sister may not seem appealing to most rockers. But when the sibling in question is Miley Cyrus, older bro Trace Cyrus and his band, Metro Station -- riding high with its own hits "Shake It" and "Kelsey" -- are all too happy to be aboard her upcoming North American trek, which begins Sept. 14.
"I couldn't be more excited," the elder Cyrus tells Billboard.com. "Honestly, I've been away from home for so long I haven't really gotten to see my family for the past two years. I'm gone on the road more than my dad (country star Billy Ray Cyrus), more than my sister. So the fact I'm gonna get to spend that much time with my family and my band, I couldn't be in a happier position. It's my dream come true; I'm gonna have everyone I love out on the road with me. It's gonna be great."
Touring with Miley does have its benefits -- just as the Jonas Brothers, who certainly received an exponential career boost from the opening slot on the Cyrus/Hannah Montana Best of Both Worlds Tour in 2007-2008. Metro Station, however, comes to the party after starting to build its own audience in the modern/alternative rock world.
"(Miley) definitely has some younger kids that come to her shows that wouldn't come to our shows," Cyrus acknowledges, "but we're making music for all listeners. We're definitely gonna try to be child-friendly on that tour. We're gonna try to make it our audience as much as we can. I feel like our music can definitely speak to those kids."
Metro Station hopes to have more music in the relatively near future, too. Cyrus says the group has "well over 20 tracks" written for the follow-up to its self-titled 2007 debut and plans to hit the studio after the tour ends in December with a new release in early 2010. "We've definitely matured," he says of the new songs. "I would just say it's Metro Station, a little more electronic and a little more mature, but the same big pop songs that could be played on the radio."
The group is not yet sure who will produce the album. Cyrus says it would like to continue working the team of S*A*M & Sluggo but also would "definitely love to experiment with some new producers, too. We're just trying to make sure the second record's gonna be perfect."
Metro Station’s Myspace So, just to start off, Metro Station’s first album was released a little over two months ago, could you guys describe that experience for you, what was that like for you?
Mason Musso: A rush. Trace Cyrus: A little overwhelming, it happened so fast basically, like, we all knew we had to put the album out eventually, but we definitely didn’t expect it to happen with us being a band, like, less than a year? Yeah, cause that’s pretty crazy. Um, yeah, it was just overwhelming for all of us, I think. Anthony Improgo: It’s a funny story actually, because, our actual album release date, we were on tour and there was, uh, how many people? TC: What? The show we played on our album release at, uh, Columbia, Missouri, was that it? AI: Yeah. TC: Columbia, Missouri, and there were, I swear like, three people at the show and we played out of, I don’t know like, a trailer, or something, or a trailer sized bar. AI: Cause usually, like, bands throw their CD release parties, you know, where they’re from and stuff but we were on the road, and there were like, two people, so that was kind of funny.
So, what are some of the bands, or types of music, that inspired you while making that album?
TC: While making the album? MM: The Postal Service. TC: Beforehand, before the album, that was kind of my rush, before, we came together. During the process, um, what would you say we were listening to? MM: Uh…I don’t…Forever The Sickest Kids TC: Yeah, Forever The Sickest Kids, we’re friends with them. MM: Uh, I like,…The Killers,…a lot of 80’s stuff. We all listen to everything really. Anything from like, the Postal Service to, you know. AI: Well, actually, Mason just bought, like, an 80’s compilation, and then there’s this, uh, Johnny Hates Jazz, and uh, I don’t know, it’s very new wave, a very new wave theme.
I’m all for the 80’s. Okay, so how did you guys decide on the name Metro Station, where did that come from?
TC: Mason thought it up. MM: I called, uh, it was only me and Trace at the time, and uh, we weren’t really stuck on it, but , I was like “Dude, we ought a be named Metro Station” and he was like, “Yeah, yeah we can go with it”, then, when Trace met Blake, and we were gonna, like, do the name, and he was like, “Yeah, I love it, I love it” so, it just kinda stuck with us. TC: And then we made, like, the MySpace, had the name, and then, we made the MySpace, kept the name, and then, we had the MySpace for awhile actually, I had it made, we kept getting together, and then we made our first song.
Awesome, I heard that you guys worked with Motion City Soundtrack on the album?
MM: Yeah, we did.
How was that for you?
MM: Amazing.
Ha-ha, just amazing?
TC: Motion City, is really one of my favorite bands. Like, I know every word to every song. I just fucking love those guys. It was like a star struck moment for me, getting to work with them, so… MM: It was actually strange, because, right before we knew we were gonna get signed and stuff, well, I actually heard about Motion City Soundtrack through Trace, and whenever we would chill or hangout and stuff, he would play them in the car, and then we heard about it [working with them] we were like “Oh…..my god” TC: it was pretty ironic though, a band that I was so into, we were gonna work with, so, very cool. AI: And they produced, ‘Kelsey’ and ‘Comin’ Around’…
How come ‘Comin’ Around’ wasn’t on the album?
TC: We could only have ten songs on the album.
Oh, it was one of my favorites.
MM: Well, thank you for that.
WDBYM: What is one band you’d like to tour with in the future?
TC: A future band for us… MM: I would love to tour with Bloc Party, that’d be so much fun. Let’s see, Bloc Party, The Postal Service AI: Even like, opening, or supporting for The Killers.
I’d go see that. So, you guys are going on tour with Cobra Starship, We The Kings, and The Cab, early 2008. Are you excited about that?
MM: That’s gonna be a great tour. We know We The Kings, and I’ve heard a lot about Cobra and The Cab, and I heard they’re really nice guys and stuff. So it’ll be cool. Like this whole big family will be there I guess.
Speaking of Cobra Starship, whose music and crowds are more dance than anything else, Metro Station’s crowds are similarly less of a crowd and more of a dance party, is that something you guys aim for or take pride in?
TC: It’s what we’re all about. AI: We’re excited about the tour, cause, even the cab, they’re all, alike bands, and it’s. It’s gonna be fun. MM: Cause we’re not like, a moshpit band. Like, nothing against moshpit bands though. AI: It’s cool though cause like on this tour, I think it was like Spokane, and Trace and Mason were like “Hey Guys, did you wanna, crowd surf?”, so we had crowd surfing for the first time.
Which Metro Station song is your favorite song to perform and why?
MM: Well, It always changes, but we just added ‘Shake It!’ and I really like playing that, but at the same time- TC: ‘Control’ is always gonna be a favorite. MM: Yeah, ‘Control’ in always fun.
The crowd explodes during ‘Control’, I remember that much.
MM: It’s always fun to do that song, what show did you go to?
The Knitting Factory in Hollywood in August.
MM: That show was like, crazy. AI: It was one of my favorites.
What about you do you have a favorite?
Blake Healy: ‘Control’ is my favorite, yeah.
What is your favorite city to perform in?
TC: New York or Los Angeles probably, LA of course is my favorite, cause it’s our home. But New York City this year for us, well fuck, New York City, the first time we played there at the Knitting Factory, that was amazing, and the last time, well, both times we were in New York the shows have been sold out.
You all are a pretty solid band, everyone loves you guys.
MM: We’re just trying to spread the love.
That’s the best method. Were any of you in any bands before Metro Station? TC: Yeah, Blake and Anthony were. BH: Yeah, I was in a band, uh, Synthetic Joy, which was like a synth pp band, more electronic, glitchy, weird stuff.
What about you?
AI: Just like indie rock bands, nothing really big.
So how did all of you guys meet?
TC: Uh, me and Mason originally first met because, I knew his little brother, and I just kept hearing, ‘man, I gotta meet Mason,’ and then we got together and hung out, and a few days later, I went to his house and we recorded our first song like that night. I guess our parents were kinda shocked, cause we work pretty good together, and kept making songs after that. Eventually, I was searching on MySpace, and I came across the band that Blake was in, I sent him a message trying to see if he could play synth for us, and he was just like gonna help me and Mason out kind of, and us just do a song together for fun and it turned into something bigger than we thought and he dropped out of his other band, and the three of us started playing shows around LA and we were trying to get signed and put a record out and we searched and we found Anthony after about three drummers. He was a blessing.
Awesome. If you weren’t in Metro Station, what would you be doing right now, as in jobs.
MM: Making pretzels.
Ha-ha, pretzels are delicious.
TC: I was working at Journey’s shoes before we got signed, so yeah, that was fun. BH: I’d be working at a computer at an office somewhere doing I don’t know what. AI: Kinda the same thing, a desk job.
So I know he [Trace] said he worked at Journey’s, where if you guys work before Metro?
AI: Graphic Design, making websites and stuff. BH: Basically updating a database.
Ha, that sounds like fun.
BH: Yeah. MM: I just made pretzels.
Like where? Wetzels, Auntie Anne’s?
MM: Auntie Anne’s.
Oh I love their pretzels. I work at Hot Dog on a Stick.
MM: Oh, really?
Yeah, so I get to wear that funky hat. So, how old are you guys?
TC: Well, I’m 18. MM: 18.
Wow, you guys are young.
BH: 26. AI: I’m the oldest, I’m 31.
What? You’re lying.
AI: No, really.
Wow, you look good! So, what is one thing you guys have to take on tour with you?
BH: My laptop. TC: I have to have my laptop when I’m on tour, and headphones. AI: Blackberry. MM: I have a little, guitar, yeah, I need that.
Yeah, I can see how that’d be important. What do you guys like to do on your day off?
TC: Rest. The days we have off on tour, a lot, we just stay in and sleep. AI: Run a lot of errands that we just can’t do cause there’s never time.
Touring must be hectic for you guys. What is that like on a day to day basis, like, run me through a typical day.
MM: It’s fun, you get here, you load in, you have to get all you stuff ready, wait around for maybe about an hour and then you’re sound checking, and then we have time to do this. TC: We do stuff like this. Interviews, then me and Mason have time to warm our voices up and that takes like 30 minutes. Since we’ve been on this tour so far, we play at like 6:30, so we can stick around and watch the bands play, then meet as many fans as possible, talk to everyone, take pictures, then usually after that we will meet people on the town, like, chill, find like a club or a party to go. If not, like sometimes we have to drive all night, and not get a hotel. AI: Yeah, like, from Milwaukee we drove like 26 hours, nonstop. Yeah, lots of stories.
Do you guys have any pet peeves?
BH: When people put trash in my seat.
Do people do that often?
BH: Yeah, oh, and being late, that’s my number one thing, It drive me insane, I think it’s rude. AI: Like food. Trash. TC: Spending money when we don’t have to, that annoys me. MM: Um, I don’t…
No pet peeves? You’re not human.
MM: Well, I do, when they talk.
Oooh, that’s a burn right there, ha-ha. So, if you could listen to one album for the rest of your life, what would it be?
MM: Our album. TC: That’s hard. MM: Hm, Simon and Garfunkel’s, Old Friends.
…Heavy in thought?
AI: I guess I’d get a compilation. TC: Next question.
Actually, I’m out of questions, ha-ha. But yeah, thanks guys for sitting down with me, I really appreciate it.
Hey TWIST girls, There's been so much buzz surrounding Demi and Trace's Twitter flirtfest over the last few weeks -- what's going on between them?! TWIST sat down with Demi for a one-on-one at our shoot yesterday, and she dished about their connection!
"Trace is really one of my good friends," Demi confessed only to TWIST. "People don't realize that he is really, really cool. And he is one of my good friends. I think we get along really well because he's someone who I can really talk to about a lot of stuff. We've both been through a lot."
So, are they dating? When TWIST asked Demi for advice on what to do if you like your friend's older brother, Demi shyly replied "I don't know!"
Hmm, it is a tricky sitch -- count on TWIST to keep you posted!
It's never easy being the brother of someone famous. But when that someone is the most famous teenager in all the world, it's especially difficult to break out from her immense shadow to pursue your own professional endeavors.
Still, Trace Cyrus — who plays lead guitar for synth-pop outfit Metro Station — has managed to do just that, even with his half-sister, "Hannah Montana" star Miley Cyrus, dominating international headlines, both for her music and film work as well as her personal foibles. But if it hadn't been for "Hannah Montana," chances are good that Trace Cyrus never would have met Mason Musso, his Metro Station partner in crime.
"It was our parents who told us we should meet," Cyrus told MTV News this week. "I already knew [Mason's] little brother, Mitchel, because he'd been cast on 'Hannah Montana' with my sister, and [the show is the reason I moved] to California, as [did] Mason's family. One day, Miley gave me a CD of Mason's, and I fell in love with the music. I went down to the ['Hannah Montana'] set one day to hang out with my sister, and Mason was there. We hung out a little bit and talked about music. The next week, I think, I went over to his house, and we recorded our first song. Ever since then, we'd get together every weekend to make music, and I think our parents are shocked that it turned into something more than they expected."
Of course, Cyrus and Musso don't want to be known as their siblings' brothers, and they've worked hard to distinguish themselves from their famous family members.
"My sister and my dad were doing acting and singing, and Mason's brother was doing acting. ... Making music was something we wanted to do so bad, but we didn't know if we'd be able to get out of their spotlights and do our own thing and be our own individual selves," Cyrus explained. "But it's been cool, because Metro Station ... people have taken to it as our own thing — separate from everything and anyone else."
So far, Metro Station's self-titled 2007 debut has sold more than 87,000 copies in the U.S., and the band has toured with the likes of Panic at the Disco, Motion City Soundtrack and Forever the Sickest Kids. This summer, the guys are hoping to pick up even more fans as they hit the road with Boys Like Girls and Good Charlotte for a trek that starts July 8 in Chicago.
Metro Station signed a deal with Columbia Records soon after an intern working at the label stumbled upon their MySpace page, Cyrus recalled. The intern told his boss about the guys, and before they knew it, they were on a plane to New York, where they tracked the songs they'd been working on for their debut disc. And while his sister isn't the type to offer words of advice, Cyrus said he's learned a great deal about the music business from his father.
The majority of his life was spent in and around the industry, thanks to his honky-tonkin' pop, Billy Ray Cyrus. His summers were spent on the road with his dad, and over the years, he learned firsthand about the inner workings of what can be a soul-crushing business. He learned that fame can be fleeting — one minute they love you, and the next they've forgotten your name.
"I never had my mind set on being an entertainer in the music business," he explained. "I've been playing my guitar, and I've been on tour with Dad every summer since I was a kid. And I've seen mistakes he's made and the stuff he went through with labels, and I know that the music business is scary."
But that hasn't deterred Metro Station from carrying on and working on new material, some of which they may preview for fans on their summer tour. But will Cyrus ever team up with Miley on a Metro Station track?
"Actually, I'm going to sing on one of the tracks on her next album," he said. "I can't say much about it right now, but we will be collaborating."
Metrostation have said that they are ready to take on the world Trace said. The band are big in the USA,UK,Japan,Cyprus,Asia and other places. The band said they all want to do well.
As is often the case in Metro Station's hometown of Hollywood, CA, the electro-rock outfit owes its formation to a handful of well-placed connections. Co-frontman Trace Cyrus is the stepson of country star Billy Ray Cyrus, and his half sister, Miley Cyrus, rose to prominence as the title character on Disney's Hannah Montana. Similarly, singer Mason Musso's younger brother played the role of Oliver Oken in Hannah Montana, and the two older-sibling musicians met at the urging of their respective mothers. After adding keyboardist Blake Healy to the lineup, the trio recorded a single -- the teenage anthem "Seventeen Forever" -- and was surprised by its sudden chart success at MySpace.com. The group's Internet presence attracted the attention of percussionist Anthony Improgo, who took note of the band's mix of '80s-styled electro and pop. Improgo soon joined Metro Station as the band's drummer, and the group set off to play shows in the L.A. area.
However, it was MySpace that would (again) prove to be their biggest asset, as an intern at Red Ink discovered the band while perusing the website's music listings. A record deal with Red Ink followed in late 2006 -- the very same year as Metro Station's formation -- and the quartet headed to New York City to record its first full-length album. Featuring production from Motion City Soundtrack's Josh Cain and Justin Pierre on the leadoff single "Kelsey," Metro Station's self-titled debut was released in September 2007. Although reception was initially lukewarm, the band experienced a notable surge in sales following the release of "Shake It," which garnered double-platinum sales and charted in multiple countries. ~ Andrew Leahey, All Music Guide
Trace Cyrus is just the latest family member to jump on the Miley Cyrus money train. Trace is the guitarist and vocalist for the band ‘Metro Station’. I know, I never heard of them either. The song is called ‘Hovering’ maybe a hint to Daddy?
Trying to stir up some interest in this single Trace revealed that they “might do a music video for that and push towards alternative radio.” Speaking of the still-in-the-work song.
Hey ok so i have about 50 emails saying that Metro station official website is closing. I checked it out and it is untrue. It is just the wbe guys so don't worrie.
Most of the weeks we see in the papers or online sites that Trace cyrus and hanna beth break up or get back together. But at this time it looks like they won't be getting back together. I wonder if they will?
The rumors are true! As announced by Miley Cyrus earlier this week, the pop superstar will be joined by special guests Metro Station on her upcoming North American tour. The ten-week arena run - launching September 14 in Portland, OR, and running through December 2, in Miami, FL- will mark the first time that Cyrus will tour with her brother Trace, who sings and plays guitar in Metro Station.
Metro Station - Trace Cyrus (vocals, guitar), Mason Musso (vocals, guitar), Blake Healy (keyboards, synth) and Anthony Improgo (percussion) - are currently wrapping up a two week tour of Japan, and later this month will return to Europe for three weeks of dates. In May they completed their most extensive domestic run to date, providing support on Fall Out Boy's "Believers Never Die" tour.
The band recently completed shooting the video for the new single "Kelsey," which stars Aimee Teegarden from the NBC series "Friday Night Lights." The video will premier later this summer.

Metro station has made more headlines this week again. The bands are bringing Miley Cyrus on there tour but some of the band members are not too happy as Miley would only bring her own fans and not theirs. Metro station goes on tour this year September-December 2009.
Trace Cyrus's band Metro Station want to avoid being linked with his younger sister Miley.
According to bandmate Blake Healy, the electropop group have been asked to play live with the Hannah Montana star, but are worried they would have to tone down their shows.
"We've been talking about touring with Miley, but we'd have to change things, like making sure we don't cuss on stage," he told Digital Spy.
"We've not tried to get in on the whole Disney thing. If anything, we've tried to avoid it so that we can do what we want."
Healy also claimed that he was not aware of Trace's musical family links when he first joined the band.
"I didn't know the connection right away and it was only when we were writing that Mason [Musso, singer] said, 'You know that's Billy Ray Cyrus's son?' I was like, 'Oh my God! Really?'" he said.
Metro Station have announced details of a one-off UK live show this summer, as part of their mini European tour.
After dates in Paris, Barcelona and Madrid, the 'Shake It' hitmakers are scheduled to perform at the O2 Shepherd's Bush Empire in London on July 1st. Get tickets here.

LOWELL — The line of teenage girls and chaperoning parents around Tsongas Arena in Lowell, Mass. Tuesday was a quarter of a mile long. Anyone walking to the end of it is a witness to every color in the neon rainbow – on t-shirts, shoelaces, and even sections of hair. What could possibly have all of these scenesters lined up in a balmy 94 degree day? Only the wet dream of emo rock tours this summer – The Believers Never Die Tour Part Deux.
As one dad stated while waiting in line with his daughter, “This is what it was like 20 years ago for us lining up for Ozzy and Motley Crue. They are all dressed up and so into it.”
The tour includes five acts starting with Hey Monday, Metro Station, All Time Low, Cobra Starship and is capitalized with pop-rock giants Fall Out Boy. The concert was completely sold out which means approximately 5,000 jubilant fans crammed into the floor pit of Tsongas while 1,500 their parents and the more claustrophobic fans fill out the arena seats circling the stage. Their screams grew louder and closer to pandemonium with each act that took the stage.
Hey Monday, the newest act to Pete Wentz’s Fueled By Ramen imprint label Decaydance, kept things light and exciting during the opening set but things began to get unkosher when Metro Station took the stage. Trace Cyrus (Yes, of the Miley relation – her half brother) spent more time throwing his guitar than actually playing it (observation: there was never a time when he strummed and sang at the same time). The stands erupted when Cyrus took off his shirt right before the crowd favorite, “Shake It.” The intensity of the reaction caused one girl to be pulled out of the pit (which looked more like a squared off block of human sardines than actual people) unconscious and rushed backstage for medical attention.
Still, the most disturbing moment of the night came when All Time Low front man Alex Gaskarth requested that all willing girls to throw their bras on stage during the Virginia rockers’ set. Before he could finish the first verse there were dozens of undergarments being thrown on stage, which is even more unsettling when you realize that the mean age of everyone close to the stage is 14 and the sex Gaskarth offered for their undergarments is illegal in all 50 states. The ordeal has me extremely worried about the welfare and mentality of the upcoming concert-going generation.
After the All Time Low set there seemed to be a mass exodus of underage (and now unsupported) teenage girls, only to be replaced by a new crowd of slightly older — but still tripped out in neon — fans who seemed to flank from the wings to take their spots in the pit for the headlining acts.
Cobra Starship lead singer Gabe Saporta refrained from asking for lingerie (though one or two were still thrown at bassist Alex Suarez) and stuck to making jokes about swine flu and teaching the crowd the “international Cobra symbol” -– throwing fangs up before ending with their flagship song “Snakes On a Plane” and fan favorite “Guilty Pleasure.”
It has to be said that Fall Out Boy lived up to their headlining position though. Their performance was decked out with background video, snare drummers in full SWAT attire and even a wardrobe change. The Chicago-based quartet rocked out for over an hour, playing songs from all four of their albums from the first, “Take This To Your Grave,” to the December-released “Folie A Deux”.
Bassist Pete Wentz handled most of the between song banter, commenting on everything from political current events to a poster in the front row pleading “DON’T SELL OUT.” Wentz countered that the band never sold out, merely “bought in” –- whatever that means.
Overall, it felt like two separate concerts where each band performed for their own respective audiences. There was always something to watch, which is all you could ask for from a show, but in some cases it felt like -– for better or worse –- the emphasis was more on the spectacle than the songs being presented. At the end of the night, despite a few disturbing moments, Believers Never Die turned out to be a thoroughly entertaining show and I’ll place a bet that it ends up being one of the most successful of the entire summer.
Blast Magazine: Fall Out Boy and friends rock Lowell, for better or worse
quote:
LOWELL — The line of teenage girls and chaperoning parents around Tsongas Arena in Lowell, Mass. Tuesday was a quarter of a mile long. Anyone walking to the end of it is a witness to every color in the neon rainbow – on t-shirts, shoelaces, and even sections of hair. What could possibly have all of these scenesters lined up in a balmy 94 degree day? Only the wet dream of emo rock tours this summer – The Believers Never Die Tour Part Deux.
As one dad stated while waiting in line with his daughter, “This is what it was like 20 years ago for us lining up for Ozzy and Motley Crue. They are all dressed up and so into it.”
The tour includes five acts starting with Hey Monday, Metro Station, All Time Low, Cobra Starship and is capitalized with pop-rock giants Fall Out Boy. The concert was completely sold out which means approximately 5,000 jubilant fans crammed into the floor pit of Tsongas while 1,500 their parents and the more claustrophobic fans fill out the arena seats circling the stage. Their screams grew louder and closer to pandemonium with each act that took the stage.
Hey Monday, the newest act to Pete Wentz’s Fueled By Ramen imprint label Decaydance, kept things light and exciting during the opening set but things began to get unkosher when Metro Station took the stage. Trace Cyrus (Yes, of the Miley relation – her half brother) spent more time throwing his guitar than actually playing it (observation: there was never a time when he strummed and sang at the same time). The stands erupted when Cyrus took off his shirt right before the crowd favorite, “Shake It.” The intensity of the reaction caused one girl to be pulled out of the pit (which looked more like a squared off block of human sardines than actual people) unconscious and rushed backstage for medical attention.
Still, the most disturbing moment of the night came when All Time Low front man Alex Gaskarth requested that all willing girls to throw their bras on stage during the Virginia rockers’ set. Before he could finish the first verse there were dozens of undergarments being thrown on stage, which is even more unsettling when you realize that the mean age of everyone close to the stage is 14 and the sex Gaskarth offered for their undergarments is illegal in all 50 states. The ordeal has me extremely worried about the welfare and mentality of the upcoming concert-going generation.
