Metric at the Town Ballroom (9/23/16)

September 27, 2016

Metric is no stranger to Buffalo. Hailing from Toronto, the indie pop act has played plenty of shows in our area, but none quite as special as the show this past Friday.  Following a venue change from Artpark in Lewiston, the band played a rare and intimate club show at the Town Ballroom.  The band brought their full stage production with them as well, adding their own lighting rig to the mix, making the show that much more special.  Local act, Humble Braggers, had the opportunity to open up the show as well, and they killed it.  Check out some shots from the night below, and click HERE for a full gallery.

Tonight: Metric

September 23, 2016

Tonight Buffalo will be treated to a night of blissful indie pop by way of scene veterans, Metric. Originally slated for a show at Artpark, the location of the gig was moved to Town Ballroom earlier this week. The famed Canadian band has been pumping out jams for close to two decades, evolving from a grittier indie rock sound/minimalist approach, to a more lush synth-heavy sound with their latest album, Pagans in Vegas. Openers are Buffalo-based three-piece, Humble Braggers, who will be playing the venue for the first time in their bandlife. Doors are at 7pm and tickets are $48.

If any of our readers are avid listeners of 102.1 or 107.7, you are probably familiar with Metric, a band that has evolved into a cornerstone of the alternative format. Having formed in Toronto, the Canadian alt-synth-poppers have been Buffalo favorites since their breakout debut in 2003. Over the past decade, frontwoman Emily Haines and co. have scored several great hits, including (but definitely not limited to): “Combat Baby,” “Help I’m Alive,” “Gimme Sympathy,” and “Gold, Guns, Girls.” Tonight, Metric is playing quite the gig. They are opening for the kings of dad-rock, Imagine Dragons… On the bright side, guests won’t have to suffer through their 5000th listen of “Radioactive” before catching what is sure to be a great set from Metric. The show is at the First Niagara Center, doors are at 6pm, and tickets are $59.50, $49.50, and $29.50. We’re so excited, our hearts are beating like a hammer!
