Get Out Tuesday: Metric @ The Showbox

There are a lot of synth-pop bands out there today -- too many perhaps -- so it can be an arduous task, to muck through it all and find the ones that actually have something more to say than, "Check out this keyboard my mom bought me!"

See, we don't mind the synthesizers when they're used to good effect and without a shred of irony. Throw in pulse-pounding guitar rhythms and compelling lyrics sang by an arresting, charismatic girl and we're there.

Enter, Metric.

Last time we saw Metric, about a year and half ago, we were completely taken by their performance. They blew the lid off the Showbox and shattered any expectations we may have brought with us.
