From the Post:
Old bands don't break up -- they just go on "hiatus." Ask Fugazi. Or Lungfish. Or, after tonight, Metropolitan, the zippy Arlington-based indie rock band (listen). Metropolitan's been a Nightlife Agenda favorite since we heard the record "Down for You Is Up" earlier this century. The group's sound -- a mix of Dinosaur Jr.-esque guitars, melodic basslines and crisp drumming -- ducks and weaves from song to song. You never know what you're going to get, but it always has a strong hook. But now bassist Shyam Telikicherla is moving to Chicago, so Metropolitan's not going to be playing together "for the foreseeable future," according to singer/guitarist John Masters. Give the band a proper sendoff tonight on the mainstage of the Black Cat, where they're playing with Wye Oak, Bellflur and the Face Accidents.
