biography

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

  - I got a meet and greet with them recently. It would have made me happy to just see the show, but I got that, too. :)
    
    Trace said he liked my shirt. What was I wearing? A Metro Station shirt, ha ha. Too bad I was shy and only said thank you. I should have told him that my baby 2nd cousin loved it because of the bright colors. He probably would've liked that. BTW, I'm normally shy...Plus I was alone, so I had no one familiar to work with. It's not because they're famous or that I really like them (though I do). I was shy with ATL, too, and I'm not a fan of theirs (met them, too--they did their meet and greet together).
    
    The show was great. Trace seemed quiet in person (to me) but he's a live wire on stage. He jumps around and throws and flings his guitar around. There are live videos on the Internet, but it's best in person. He also spit on the audience. Got a little on me, ha ha.
    
    Saw FOB at the same show, but I liked Metro Station much more. I was very impressed, which almost never happens. They also never bore me, which rarely is the case with me.
    
    I would suggest that people see them, cuz they put on an electric show!
