Metric Rollcall

[kosmo vinyl]

Anyone? I'll be there in the DJ booth...

10pm? dang. i usually don't metro but was planning to for this show. i guess most bands don't play for 2 hours. i'll have to leave around 11:30.

Cool Kosmo -- I'll be there, but I have a work event and my just get in by 10:00....
 
 Gwen, I've never seen Metric play even as long as an hour and a half (I've seen them 4 or 5 times -- everytime they've been at 9:30 Club); you should be fine...

[CitizenGwen]

cool on one hand, but not on another.
 
 next week i'm seeing a band in baltimore that is never done their set before the 2 hour mark. which i guess some people might say is too long, but i'm dancing the whole time and don't even notice.
 
 i only just started getting into metric so i'm super excited to see them for the first time.

They're damn good based on what they played at V Fest a couple of weekends ago.
 
 I'm going tonight as well...thought I'd do a Rach and announce my agenda for the evening.
 
 so I'm going to....
 
 well maybe not.

Definitely not full.  We were figuring about 2/3 full.  Kosmo can probably best estimate, as he got the view from above.

emily, sweetie.. how are you gonna cut "patriarch on a vespa" from the setlist?
 
 b, i'll be the asshole screaming "patriarch!" apparently.

It was a great show, far better than their last in DC. Is anyone else slightly obsessed with "Joyride"? I wasn't too disappointed with the setlist, as this mini tour was advertised as a trial run for new songs; I just wish they could have thrown in "Up In Flames."

 Not as good as cale's, but what can I say?

Yes.  And it was great.  Sloppy and a little too short, but still one of the better shows I have seen this year or last.  The show-closing bass-and-crowd rendition of Jenny was worth the price of admission.
