The Drones - The Metro Theatre, 24th October 2008
What an eye-popping, shit-hot gig this was! It was the type of show that was always on edge, there was the sense anything could happen as The Drones tore up the stage. The sheer gusto and passion of the band was really quite inspiring – these guys love performing and they do it so damn [...]

DragonForce are a band that defy belief. Having sold out their first show at The Metro, these lords of power metal returned for their second night in a row with the unfettered ferocity of a rhino in heat.
Guitarists Herman Li and Sam Totman were quite amazing. Making use of everything from their [...]
Black Francis - The Metro Theatre 03/10/08
Black Francis was one of the acts booked to play the Great Escape festival, which was unfortunately cancelled due to low ticket sales. The upside of this was that Sydney now had a Black Francis gig at the Metro – woo hoo! Everyone knew it would be nothing like the stunning Pixies performance of early [...]

Shapeshifter at Metro Theatre - 5th September 2008
Shapeshifter have this really earthy quality to their drum ‘n’ base, with a green and vibrant New Zealand energy to their live sets. Last Friday night at Sydney’s Metro Theatre was a classic example of their legendarily oh-so-dancefriendly performances.
The Metro Theatre, its carpets sticky to the step with thick well-trodden gum, is perfect acoustically for [...]
The Music - The Metro Theatre 31st July 2008
I come out of this gig and I decide that it is imperative we change the name of the paper to The Music Feeds – that is how much I heart this show.
Every conversation I eaves drop on you can hear people boasting about how many times they have seen the band before - and [...]
The Polyphonic Spree - The Metro Theatre 29th July 2008
Having seen The Polyphonic Spree when they last toured in 2005, I was unsure about whether I should go. Deciding to go was one of the best decisions I’ve made this year, along with electing to have my left testicle removed and choosing a fixed rate mortgage.
The show started with a red piece of fabric [...]
