When two iconic brands like MTV and Intel come together to bring an iconic artist like YG Entertainment's and BIG BANG member Taeyang, we know they mean business.  The sun is headed west as on November 26th, doors will open in San Francisco's Bimbo's 365 Club at 8PM where Taeyang will headline The Music Experiment 2.0.  Choice37 will DJ the pre-party.

If you are looking for tickets to the performance, then I have to tell you about the catch.  The price of admission is paid only if you participate the most in MTV and Intel's special social activities.  According to the official press release:

"The Music Experiment 2.0 is a themed, social-media powered music series that connects passionate fans with their favorite emerging artists. Tickets are awarded to fans that visit the online hub (https://www.musicexperiment.com) and engage the most with the series on Facebook, Instagram, Vine, and Twitter. Social submissions deemed the most creative will be awarded prizes including VIP tickets to the show, a personal meet and greet with the artist and a starring role in their own MTV Iggy-produced music video. With hundreds of entries already received, social media challenges relaunch on November 19^th and will end on November 25^th."

So, that means you have about 24 hours from now until the chances for a spot at the special concert all goes away.  Make sure to visit and participate in the social media activities ASAP!

This show, like previous ones in the series featuring Arcade Fire (stream), Empire of the Sun (stream) and Disclosure (stream), will be broadcast live at approximately 10:15pm PST at the ME 2.0 website or via the Music Experiment Windows 8 App and will also air at a later date on the Palladia music channel.

The Windows app will allow homes users to direct the show themselves from multiple camera angles - zoom in for a close up on their favorite band member, cut back for a wide shot, and save their own edit to share with their friends. The entire experience is in full HD video and can be wirelessly sent to the users TV using Intel's new WiDi technology while being controlled from their lap.

For those who already got lucky and are attending, and those who will be supporting from the comfort of their living rooms are asked to join the night's theme: All White.  Hmm, do I look good in white?   Yep, as you thought, the dress code is all-white!  Keeping true to the social theme,  MTV Iggy has created a Pinterest board (link) that features clothing ideas.  Time to start pinning! 

Taeyang's appearance at Music Experiment 2.0 proves his clout (and yes, if I go social-themed maybe I should measure his Klout score) in the global music phenomenon.  Taeyang's debut solo project 'Solar' became the first from an Asian artist to have landed at the top of the Canadian and US iTunes R&B/Soul album chart respectively.  He is one-fifth of the phenomenal K-pop group BIG BANG and has toured the globe for their often sell-out 12-country concert series dubbed by The New York Times as one of the "Best Concerts of 2012".  He also recently released his Ringa Linga single, a track from an upcoming sophomore solo project, and the music video for this has already reached 5MM views (and counting).

YG Entertainment artists are no stranger to MTV Iggy, with girl group 2NE1 having bagged the "Best Band in the World" honors in early 2012.  Music Experiment 2.0 just tightens up the bonds between YG artists, and the MTV Iggy brand. 

Right up before Thanksgiving weekend, Taeyang's show in San Francisco is definitely something to be thankful for.
