From myspace TODAY: "The Metros will be playing their final ever gig at the Dirty South on the 27th of June before retiring to the Costa del Sol. It'll be your last ever chance to see the cool cats in action so make sure you get there nice and early. Tickets will be somewhere between free and a 1000 pound and the first few through the door get a snog from charlie. It's 16 plus but if you look it your sure to be fine. Lots of love sausages and hopefully well see you all there. [...]

Metro - Mono Messiah Sometimes when you're looking for stuff that sounds like Métro, you just have to listen to more Métro. Featuring John Giblin on bass, doing a sort of hommage to John Entwistle, and getting jiggy at 1:38.
Finishing up their West Coast wing of their tour through the United States, Warren Fischer and Casey Spooner- or Fischerspooner - and their stage production group are steady marching through the Midwest this week, ending at Chicago on Saturday at Metro [ tickets ]. After just finishing up their latest full-length, Entertainment , the New York duo has kicked off their first tour in five years, hinting at what's to come with descriptions of "hairy monsters, feathered chorus girls spitting blood, raucous new versions of their [...]

Blah blah we all know that I work in a store that is probably a terrible store, yet I get to listen to really great music at work - one of the only reasons I'm actually STILL at my job, tbh. I used to post a bunch of songs we played but when it went into Christmas time, I basically went berserk with all the awful music so I stopped, but now, I'm back, so here's some of the tunes from last week: 1. Me Plus One by Kasabian 2. The Reviewer by the [...]

Photo Credit: thetripwire.com Dan Deacon ’s Thursday, May 7, show at The Metro had all the billings of another knock out performance, but on this night, the show never reached the ultra-high levels of fun for which his performances are known. Deacon and his band were not to blame, but instead a poor venue setup, sound troubles and a boorish and uncooperative crowd put a bit of a damper on the evening’s proceedings. Deacon recently dislocated his shoulder and had one arm [...]

Superdrag has been on hiatus since shortly after their last release, 2002's Last Call For Vitriol. The original members of the band (that is Superdrag circa 1992) reunited for their latest release Industry Giants, which was produced by singer and guitarist John Davis and recorded by the band themselves.The first and last time I saw the band was in 2003 when they opened for Mod-God Paul Weller. I was rather impressed with their performance, so I was definitely excited to see them again six years later, headlining their own show. Saturday night these Knoxville [...]
I know it's been a while since the last Just Burn It! mix but you may have noticed all the changes to the site instead. Well as site tweaking settles down I'll be making more mixes for y'all. Lets start with this one! As spring arrives there are often days that turn out to be less warm than we would have hoped. I often find these days to be the most depressing. At least in winter you know what to expect but during these transitional times it can be tough. Hope is often higher than the [...]
Okay, so I ran across this first track more on accident than anything else. It's a freakishly simple casiotone sort of cut featuring what I'm guessing are the lyrics to "Technologic" by Daft Punk in reverse. The guy's name is DJ Goldwwater (or Goldwater, the original blog I saw this on had both spellings). I've dug around for more info on this guy, but found absolutely zilch! So if you guys find something? Let me know. [Download DJ Goldwater - Touch It (Goldwater Daft Punk Revverse)] [...]
( email us to enter ) There are few acts that can get me really excited about a show and I'm pretty serious when I say that. As you may have heard, Deadmau5 and Crookers were here this past weekend... Want to know what I did during the night of the show? I did laundry and went to bed early. Suck it. However, this weekend will be different, as Simian Mobile Disco will be doing a live set at The Metro as well as a DJ Set at Smartbar afterward. I've never seen the guys perform at all, [...]

(via kelleytoombs ) The Metro is bringing the Simian Mobile Disco Live act to Chicago on Friday ( tickets ) to kick off their US tour, following it up downstairs at Smartbar with a DJ Set with DJ Bald Eagle . This city has been getting spoiled lately! Not to mention, I have another pair of tickets to giveaway- Send me an email with an obvious subject line and you'll be entered. The winner will be notified towards the end of the week. Simian Mobile [...]
As it tends to go these days, by the time a “buzzworthy” ( do people still say that? ) band enters the consciousness of the slightly-above-average music fan in Chicago, it’s safe to assume they’ve already sold-out a fast approaching date at the city’s most relevant music venue, The Metro . Over the past few decades, The Metro has solidified its enviable position as host to nearly every ascending indie act’s first big Chicago splash. And now that Windy City-based Pitchfork.com is the biggest music site in the world and live music isn’t just for stoners and self-righteous introverts [...]
