City Paper calls out MySpace

Every once in a while, MySpace does these "secret" shows where MySpace members get first dibs on seeing a band play for free.

Tokyo Police Club is playing one Sunday at the Talking Head (203 Davis St.).

First off, it's not exactly a "secret" if you send out a press release about it and let the venue put it on their Web site.

So City Paper's music editor Michael Byrne put it on their blog.

Check it out.

I love it!

Somebody needed to call out MySpace about how silly this whole concept is, and I'm glad he did.

About Sam Sessa

I've been The Baltimore Sun's nightlife and local entertainment reporter for a couple years, and it's surprising how much the scene has grown in that time. Most of Baltimore's bars and clubs are unpretentious places with fairly cheap drinks and plenty of character. I like dancing and think this city needs more clubs, but nothing beats having a cold, locally brewed beer with friends in a comfortably full corner bar.
