Metric Live at the Mod Club
April 17th, 2009
Metric launched their new album Fantasies properly last night at the ModClub in Toronto.
After a few exclusive shows and appearances over the last few weeks the band performed a blistering set at the venue that hosted 4 sold out Metric shows several years ago.
The band was obviously thrilled to be playing to a room of superfans that scored tickets through a quick pre-sale or won them off the radio. Fans were immediately jumping around and totally into the new songs.
Emily struggled with her keyboards and drew reference to the fact that they had a tumultuous relationship with the venue.
It only took a few minutes for the problem to be resolved and the band was back up and playing for a solid hour and a half.
The bands new album Fantasies is a fine return to form of catchy post modern pop music that touches on themes of apathy, alienation, and fame.
To quote Emily….Who’d you rather be:
The Beatles or the Rolling Stones….. Or The Beach Boys or The Who?
