Metro Station announce Sydney & Melbourne shows

Get ready to Shake It as Metro Station prepare to play their

first ever shows in Australia.

Fans in Sydney and Melbourne will be treated to intimate performances by

2008’s new favourite band during their maiden voyage Down Under. Playing

to all ages crowds, fans will have an opportunity to get up close and personal

with the Shake It superstars Metro Station this October.

Metro Station’s unique fusion of electro and pop music

quickly caught the ear of locals in the LA music scene and after establishing

their MySpace profile, everything began to snowball. They were signed to a

worldwide record deal and were picked up by the management team behind Fall Out

Boy and Panic At The Disco.

In 2007 Alternative Pressnamed Metro Station as one of the “22 Best Underground Bands (That Likely

Won’t Stay Underground for Long” and they were spot on. The million

selling Metro Station broke out of the blocks in 2008 as their infectious

single ‘Shake It’ hit the top of the charts around the world. Sitting

at #1 on the iTunes chart in Australia,

Metro Station have exploded across the nation with their Australian tour

destined to be a sold out event.

In addition to their millions of fans, well respected

musicians have given Metro Station their stamp of approval. Motion City

Soundtrack stepped up and took on production duties for Metro Station’s

self-titled album, while Simple Plan and Good Charlotte both invited Metro

Station to tour alongside them. Most amazingly, however, was most likely the

night Beck opened a show for Metro Station in down town LA. Not too shabby for

a couple of teenagers who originally set out just to have a bit of fun.

Missing Hours will support Metro Station at all shows.

Hailing from regional Victoria,

this duo will kick each show off to a ferocious start. Their left of centre

approach to creating music has seen them travel the world time and again to

fine tune their songwriting. These shows will be your first chance to hear

Missing Hours showcase new music ahead of their forthcoming album release.

When a band explodes worldwide the demand expands for their

live shows. Expect the demand for Metro Station to be out of control this

October. Secure your tickets when they go on sale Tuesday 2 September. Head tofrontiertouring.com for pre-sale details
