MUSIC: What are the important things to know about Metric?
The group formed in Toronto, had its fifth album release this summer, has
collaborated with Howard Shore (he composed music for “The Lord of the Rings”),
and had its music featured all over, including in a certain super-awesome film
called “Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World.” If that isn’t
enough to get you down to Water Street Music Hall ( 204
N. Water St.) tonight at 8 p.m. (tickets $28-$30, download of new album
included) then nothing probably will. Check waterstreetmusic.com for more
details.

(99 Court St.) last night, but can you really ever have enough of good rocking

tearing it up on Court Street tonight, so stop in and check the ladies out.
