MySpace is planning a serious overhaul of its music initiative, one that includes major label equity stakes, tightly-integrated content, and stepped-up ecommerce.  But the social networking giant is already an important stop for music fans and bands, and several music-related initiatives have been floating for years. 

That includes the Secret Show, a long-running series that is now approaching its 150th engagement.  The insider concept offers exclusive access to gigs for friends of a band. 

In that spirit, the upcoming show involves return artist Gnarls Barley, slated to perform in New York on June 8th.  That hardly sounds like a secret, though MySpace is still withholding critical details like the venue.  The series first started in February, 2006.
