Eric and I went to this show because we loved Fantasies by Metric so much.
We bought the tickets before we'd heard the 2012 album. We should have
waited. The 2012 album is not all that good.
Half Moon Run was really
good live. We both felt they were a find, though they were helped by the
amazing acoustics at Strathmore. Their debut album is a 2012 release and they
are from Montreal. I'm not sure their recorded music is quite as
good.
Metric sounded just like the album, and Emily, the singer, was
beautiful, but only had a couple dance moves. The guys in the band just stood
there. Eric would point out that I'm not really qualified to comment on the
stage show because I was sitting while surrounded by standing people because
of the strobe lights aimed straight at the audience - 20 foot towers of
strobes lining the back and
side walls of the stage. I couldn't bear to look
at the stage - it was horrible. So I read a book on my phone for most of the
concert. Really disappointing.
Verdict:
Never again.
