Live photos: Metric @ Highline Ballroom

Also a week late … originally Metric and Mates of State were supposed to play together on Aug. 7, but then Metric canceled, and then rescheduled for the next night. However, the show didn’t start till midnight, and Metric didn’t go on until about 1:30 a.m.

They were great (even though everyone seemed to be hating on them on Brooklyn Vegan after their All Points West show the next day … wtf, guys?), except I would have enjoyed it much more if it wasn’t so freaking late. I was exhausted and people around me probably thought I was wasted because I almost fell over about four times from nodding off. Yep.

These aren’t really great photos because well, I was half asleep, but figured I should post ‘em anyway.

Live photos: Mates of State @ Highline Ballroom

OK, this show was more than a week ago (Aug. 7) but I’ve been super busy and haven’t had time to post photos. It was my third time seeing Mates of State in a week … the night before Lollapalooza started they DJed our Venus Zine part in Chicago, then I saw them the next day at Lollapalooza, and the show at the Highline. Telepathique opened, and they were great to watch because the two guys in the band both DJed and played bass/drums, and the girl was pretty nuts.

Live review: Martha Wainwright @ Highline Ballroom


(press photo)

Last night I saw Martha Wainwright at the Highline Ballroom. She has an incredible voice (runs in the family, right?), except everything was insanely loud. Other than that, it was a great show, and Rufus and their mom performed with her during the encore, so that was cool.
