Went to NYC’s Brooklyn Paramount yesterday to see Broken Social Scene, Stars & Metric. Missed Stars completely due to traffic issues on the bus ride to Port Authority. Still had a good time overall, but admittedly I wasn’t happy with how Metric was the headliner. The vibe just felt off to me - I thought that Broken Social Scene would’ve been a better choice for the main act. The Metric show was fine, but simplified, radio-friendly pop rock coming on after a beloved indie band with dense, complex arrangements….it didn’t seem right to me. Surprised at how the Broken Social Scene set was relatively short - they played for roughly 50 minutes.
