Metric/Sebastien Grainger
Terminal 5

Its not often that a show bill is exciting enough that you feel the need to get there as early as possible. When one of your all time favorites is headlining and one your new favorites is opening, you have to do just that. Both bands were great. This was actually Metric’s best show I have seen in a few years. Emily
and the gang were on, and I mean very on. The performance was great and they were working with the crowd keeping everyone engaged the whole time. The NYC crowd was slow to warm up to Sebastien Grainger but seemed to get into it as the night went on. He finished with his dance track with was probably smart. The only problem with finishing they way he did, was a drunk girl in front of us managed to get so drunk before they finished that she placed a pile of thick red liquid on the floor that resembled a Jamba Juice smoothie. It is very impressive when people throw up before the headlining band even starts. The crowd seemed to make a circle around the honk pile so they didn't step in it butby the time Metric came out to do there thing, people seemed to not care anymore and dozens of people were standing in it...yum.

I have seen A Place To Bury Strangers before. This was the smallest room I had seen them in. It was loud. It was really loud. It was really fucking loud. I still really dug it though. It was cool seeing a band that plays such big sounds in as intimate setting as Santos Party House. If you have never seend A Place To Bury Strangers before, it kind of resembles a fight with sound and flashing lights. It is very high energy (considering the guys don't move and neither
does most of the crowd). Secret Machines were the headliners but I couldn’t stay as long as I would have liked to. I have seen them before and they are always a good show.

An old friend of mine is now a member of the Secret Machines so it was good hang with him for a little bit before they went on.
