Extra, Extra: Metric at Union Station, Arcade Fire at the Rivoli, and Gentleman Reg in a Bathroom
Every weekday’s end, Extra, Extra collects just about everything you ought to care about or ought not miss.
- Metric’s free concert tonight nears—though it looks like the crowd might be confined to the sidewalk, which’d be a lot less fun. But you know what is fun? Watching a bunch of music videos. So…
- Here’s fifteen minutes of Arcade Fire performing at the Rivoli all the way back in 2003, with the band playing “Wake Up,” “No Cars Go,” and “Old Flame” a year before Funeral came out and just after the band’s first E.P. did.
- For Southern Souls, Toronto’s very literal answer to La Blogotheque, Gentleman Reg plays “We’re in a Thunderstorm” (in a kitchen) and “To Some It Comes Easy” (in a bathroom) from 2009’s Jet Black, while Owen Pallett plays “Lewis Takes Action” (at the Dakota Tavern).
- When they’re not busy blowing your G20-obsessed mind, Broken Social Scene do make actual music videos. Their new one is for “Forced to Love.”
- And just because, Hidrogenesse transform The Hidden Cameras’ “He Falls To Me” into a dark, creepy version of itself, with a suitably bleak video.
