I believe they were opening for The New Pornographers (with Death From Above in between, before DFA became DFA1979 and then nada)... and I recall really liking Metric and spent the next couple of years looking for an album from them.. they had a Ladytron-esque vibe to them, I think (the memory is really fuzzy) and invariably when I bought Metric's Old World Underground I was disappointed because they didn't sound like I remembered them. I still don't like them as much as I did after I first heard them, but I also don't actually recall anymore what they sounded like. I first saw Metric in, hrm, 2001, I think..

That said I’m interested to see them live, from various accounts I’ve heard they were pretty good, although they’ve apparently been booked in venues far too big for their popularity for it’s been steady evenings of over half empty rooms. Tis a shame to come so far ….

I wish their vocalist would stand out at the front of the stage though(although the way she stood behind some of the band makes for a nice photo above). The way the vocals, percussion, strings, keyboards, and other instrumentation came together combined with the great screen projections/light effects...amazing. <br /> <br /> BTW, if I don't run into you at any other shows this weekend, have a great SXSW.

Ohbijou were just 'OK' for me as well, maybe they had an off night. Under Byen were amazing, I wasn’t so much into Frida but I’m sure it wasn’t for me.

More of the artists drinking red wine during the gig than I'm used to.<br /> <br /> I was hoping that you'd follow up on Frida's invitation to jump on stage to snap a few pics!<br /> <br /> (Not that I want to see security goons pummel you or anything.)

I enjoyed her much more than I thought I would. <br /> <br /> I wish I could've stayed for Under Byen's full set, but alas...I'm happy that the rest of my night was at least worth leaving early for.
