Gnarls Barkley Rings In MySpace's 150th Secret Show

Gnarls Barkley, Battles and newcomer Janelle Monae hit New York's Fillmore at Irving Plaza last night (June 8) for MySpace's 150th "Secret Show." Admission was free on a first-come, first-served basis for MySpace users who've signed up as a "friend" of the Secret Show profile.

Despite the 90-degree heat outside, Gnarls Barkley vocalist Cee-Lo took the stage in a tuxedo shirt and tie as he belted out tracks like "Run" and a cover of the Violent Femmes' "Gone Daddy Gone."

But before long he had stripped down to a wife-beater undershirt and took a seat to sing several songs for the remainder of the set, which also featured the group's breakthrough hit "Crazy," "Smiley Faces," "Who's Gonna Save My Soul Now" and "Whatever."

Working with labels and artists, MySpace Music launched the Secret Shows franchise in January 2006 and has since hosted such acts as Rilo Kiley, Moby, Maroon 5, the Killers, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Tenacious D, Lily Allen, Ice Cube, James Blunt and Neil Diamond in cities around the world.
