This spring break was one of the few times that I tried to go to SXSW shows. Normally, I am not very enthusiastic about going to live music concerts because I get bored with most of the visual performances and my back and legs hurt after standing in a crowd for hours. On a side note, people that smoke in crowds are extremely annoying.
On Tuesday, March 16, I went with my brother and friends (Jessica Allen, David Wogan, and Jessica Gonzales) to see Metric at Levi’s-Fader Fort on 5th street next to Rogue. Even though we didn’t arrive very early, we were able to get to the front row without too much crowding. Metric was amazing! Some shows I have seen seem to have more show/crazy catch than substance. You could tell that Metric knew how to play their instruments well and they had good showmanship (Emily, their singer, has an incredible amount of energy). My favorite Metric album is Fantasies and my favorite song is “Stadium Love”.

Pictures are coming soon!
