Sometimes the news isn’t always good, but it can change things for the better. Yesterday, we couldn’t help but notice Honor Society did a 180 when they tweeted that for last nights show there would be a “Free Meet & Greet”. Prior to the post, tweets by fans were popping up with them asking the question, is it true that they don’t meet with fans anymore? We’re pleased to see that the story that had originally appeared on T2 was able to gain traction and that ultimately, this change is a good thing for Honor Society. Shortly after the “Free Meet & Greet” mention, the group received a significant amount of retweets. What can we say, people get excited to meet up and coming talented bands and… that creates quite a buzz. Hopefully, it won’t be temporary… at least until they’re playing sold out arenas. (Please note we firmly believe that the decisions to sell meet and greets were that of management, not Alexander, Andrew, Jason or Michael).

Selena Gomez and The Scene‘s Kiss & Tell CD release party took place last night in Hollywood and was hosted by Onitsuka Tiger. Some of the guests that attended were David Henrie, Jennifer Stone, Debby and Chase Ryan, Jason Dolley, Savannah, Zoe Myers, Nick Braun, Jeanette McCurdy, Kevin Schmidt, Savvy and Mandy, Samantha Droke, the cast of Secret Life of the American Teenager, Sterling Beaumon, Madison Pettis, Tiffany Thornton, and V Factory minus Wesley Quinn who was occupied choreographing for Ashley Tisdale’s new music video for Crank It Up.

Last night, Honor Society‘s Fashionably Late Tour paid a visit to The Rutledge in Nashville, TN. And… just like other previous shows, it was Fashionable Late. Doors opened a full hour behind schedule.

Starting things off, fans were in for a first as the Fashionably Late tour featured Dutch pop star Esmee Denters, who will be opening for Honor Society the rest of their tour. Not only was it her first night on the tour, but also her 21st Birthday! Just like many opening nights, the sound was significantly off with the vocals and guitar mixes significantly lower than they should’ve been. Odds are that this will be fixed shortly. Seeing her backed by a three piece band was a treat, although visually they didn’t do much to energize her set. Her cover of Eyes For You was full of energy as well of her single Outta Here.

Esmee Denters – Runtime 24 Minutes
Pros: Your first chance to see an original YouTube star in the states with a live band.
Cons: Backup band’s performance wasn’t visually up to par. The most excited they were to jam was after Esmee walked off stage.
Best song: Eyes For You

1. My Destiny
2. Diva
3. Just Can’t Have It
4. Eyes For You (Cover)
5. Gravity
6. Outta Here

One thing’s for sure, in the last week Honor Society has ironed out many of the wrinkles from the opening night of the tour. This time, from the first note to the last they were on. Each member was exceptional and Michael continues to show his gift with nearly flawless vocals, backed with strong passion for each song. In addition, you can’t help but love what Alexander brings to the show. One thing was very obvious with this show – Honor Society are miles from being labeled a “new act”, but instead should be considered a seasoned band with very talented musicians and capable of displaying an energy on stage that you can’t teach.

In the middle of the set, it was hinted that there was a special guest at the show and the song Here Comes Trouble was dedicated to her. It was none other than Jessie James…. and yeah, she’s a pistol! Also in attendance was Zach Carter of the Carter Twins, Jordan Pruitt was on the guest list but apparently didn’t show.

Unfortunately, there were still some issues with the tracks. The background vocals went out during Over You and Michael deserves credit for quickly asking the crowd to sing along (to cover it up). Definitely the low point of the night occurred when they performed a cover You Really Got Me by The Kinks. The backing tracks failed to play during the opening riff which exposed the fact Jason’s guitar was barely audible with the track being about 75% louder than what was actually being played “live.”

Honor Society – Runtime 58 Minutes
Pros: Amazing performance
Cons: The act is no longer meeting with fans. I doubt the group is to blame for this but their careers are going to get much worse, before getting better with this policy.
Best song: See U In The Dark

1. Full Moon Crazy
2. Sing For You
3. Two Rebels
4. Where Are You Now
5. My Own Way
6. Here Comes Trouble
7. You Got Me Goin’ Now (Cover)
8. Don’t Close The Book
9. Why Didn’t I
10. Nobody Has To Know
11. Over You
12. See U In The Dark

On Saturday, Zoe Myers had the opportunity to be a presenter at the Malibu Music Awards. Prior to finding what award she would be presenting, she had noticed P!nk‘s name on the list. Upon arrival she was notified that she’d be awarding the Best Female Rocker Award (which P!nk was nominated for). Unfortunately, P!nk was unable to attend, so Zoe got to accept it on her behalf. When asked about the opportunity she said “I love being a part of things like this… that honor music and music lovers”.
