There wasn't enough time to give this a proper review. I went from the show to playing pinball at the gingerman to jumping in Julie's car for a 4-day trip down memory lane. Forgive me. I spent the weekend with the class of 1997 at Knox college, so what happened at the metro on Thursday is ancient history.
Benjy Ferree: shows promise. Will possibly do some research, since we missed most of the set.
Emma Pollock: First number was good - downhill from there.
New Pornographers: awesome. I love seeing this alter ego of Neko Case. The rock chick wearing no makeup and dressed like a 21 year old hipster boy. The rest of the band was great too - not sure yet who's who, but I do know that the one guy drinks too much beer. Also, nobody puts baby in a corner. The girl who's not Neko has a lot of talent too, but doesn't get much spotlight.
Did I mention that they used the A-Team theme as their walk-on?

The guy that drinks too much beer? Are you talking about AC Newman? I saw him solo in a very small venue (hole in the wall), he proceeded to get drunk, hit on the opening band's guitarist, and rock my balls off.
The NP's are great live and seeing Neko (solo) was very amazing as well.
After her show she signed my cd (Canadian Amp) and drew a heart on it. Stunning!
