Chicago has been fantastic to us yet again. Last night we played at subterranean. A lot of friends and extended metavari family came out to this show. It is great to see so much support in the windy city. It was our first big show as a four piece and things went very well. I saw quite a few photos being snapped through the night so I’m sure we’ll get some up quick. Kayo Dot was fantastic. And it was good to finally meet and play with our new Chicago friends Glynis. Ty was bummed out after the show about an Eagles loss to the Bears but who cares about sports. Chicago we will see you again in early December with some of our favorite dudes El Ten Eleven

You were kind of the birthplace of a little bookhaus boy. No, there are some good stories from this night ask us about them the next time we see you.

You remind me a lot of  "She's All That".  Here's a brief refresher on how that movie goes.  SPOILERS!   Hot popular guy (played by Freddie Prinze Jr.) can get any girl he wants.  Makes bet with friends that he can take the "ugly", dorky, artsy girl to prom(played by Rachael Leigh Cook, who was the muse of the song "The Closest Thing" by The Juliana Theory).  Boy falls in love while wooing her as part of the bet.  Girl Also Falls.  Girl comes down stirs looking superfine and whatnot.  Song of the century, Kiss Me, is playing.  At the prom, girl finds out about the bet, goes home with the douche who "Zach Siler" made the bet with initially.   "Laney"  Uses a  blow horn in said douches' ear and "Zach" dives in to save the day, and get the girl.  He The goes to graduation wearing a soccer ball.   So……When we first got to town, we were greeted by men running down the street, carrying the copper piping they had just stolen out of a house.  Things weren't exactly looking beautiful for metavari in Detroit.  But the Lager House was a wonderful little glasses off gem in the heart of Motown.  The crowd was fantastic and we got to spend a ton of time getting to know some new dudes.  Nate came out of his comfort zone and as laney did, and " let the good in with the bad."  Unfortunately I don't have a soccer ball analogy.
Thanks for your time,
Metavari.

We just got done playing the first, of three shows with our old pals, Lymbyc Systym and our new friends, This Will Destroy You. It was a pleasure sharing the stage with these guys for a few hours in brisk & beautiful Fort Wayne. A show in the Fort always brings out quite an energetic crowd. It was also the debut of the Tiger Room. More info on the Tiger Room can be found in America’s #1 comedy, The Rocker. Joel Foroute took some real sweet pics and I hear there might be some video floating around of our gorgeous friends, both new and old.

]]> Sun, 29 Jun 2008 19:51:07 GMT http://metavari.publr.com/post/253/ Anamanaguchi [video] http://metavari.publr.com/post/252/ Just had to post another Anamanaguchi clip. Yes, he's playing some of those sounds on a modded Gameboy. And yes, they're Nate's new favorite band.

]]> Sun, 29 Jun 2008 19:46:15 GMT http://metavari.publr.com/post/252/ Bodega. [video] http://metavari.publr.com/post/251/ Arrived in Brooklyn at 7:00PM. Looking for some Chinese food before our set at Goodbye Blue Monday at 1AM, we met the owners of Brooklyn based Chief Magazine and the venue, Bodega. They were so kind as to throw us on the bill that night. With 15 min to spare, we (and some newfound fans) picked our gear after we finished at Bodga and walked everything around the corner and into Goodbye Blue Monday. Just in time to do it all again. Tremendous. The Bodegans threw us on just after the NYC native chip-tube DJ set, Anamanaguchi and just before the Glen Rock New Jersey based indie-shoegaze-powerhouse that is Titus Andronicus. Couldn't have been a better night.

This is footage during Anamanaguchi's set. Walking from the first floor, down into the basement where the magic happens.

Right at about 15 seconds.

[photo] http://metavari.publr.com/post/244/ Ty, of course, gets rootbeer with his lunch.. but to his dismay, it was bottled. Which certainly implys it was nothing short of delicious. But unfortunately, it also means "No refills." Ty told the waitress, "We've gotten to know eachother pretty well during this meal. I told you I love rootbeer, you threw away my plastic fruit cup container, we even had a little laugh. Just bring me whatever you think I'd enjoy most." Seconds later she brought out 1 Dr. Pepper, 1 Sprite w/ a fresh lemon and lime wedge and 1 Pepsi. Ty drank all of them.

We pulled up next to melon truck #2 and waited paitiently for him to look our way. Waited... and waited.. and honked... and waved. Eventually the melon driver (who never ended up looking our way) became a little frightened and sped up to incredible speeds. We never saw him again.
