Metric at Union Station

Local alt, indie band Metric played a "surprise" free one-hour set on Front Street in front of Union Station this evening. According to Wikipedia, they were formed in 1998 by vocalist/keyboardist Emily Haines and guitarist James Shaw. Current members also include bassist Josh Winstead and drummer Joules Scott-Key.

After hearing about the concert this afternoon on the news I thought I should go down and have a look. I have to say I really like a lot of their songs. As usual I brought my camera along.

I arrived a bit late and Front Street was completely packed. Still I managed to squeeze through the crowd and find a spot not too far from the stage. The problem is whenever I bring my camera anywhere to take photos more often than not I concentrate so much on trying to get good shots that I don't get to really fully experience whatever event I'm attending. This one was no different. I only remember actually listening and enjoying a couple of songs.

It was still good though. I'm glad I went.
