I’m such a predictable hipster. I get crushes on all the indie music divas. Shirley Mansun. Jenny Lewis. And last night at First Avenue, Emily Haines of Metric had me wrapped around her little finger. She and her bandmates put on a solid, vibrant show that highlighted Haines’ sweet vocals and the foursome’s effortless musical synergy. My only disappointment was that Haines didn’t do any of material from her beautiful solo albums. But this was Metric’s gig and there are no piano solos in a Metric song.
I judge a lot of concerts by how much I regret being shortchanged sleep the next morning. When I woke up today, I felt no such thing.
