Wolf Parade @ The Metropolis 03.08.2006

One of the main problems I had with Osheaga this year was that it had me conflicted between seeing Iggy Pop & The Stooges and Wolf Parade who were playing The Metropolis that same night. I choose Iggy as you might have read earlier this week. However, Iggy finished at 9PM which gave me lots of time to make it back downtown for the Wolf Parade show. Score! So after having my mind blown by Iggy Pop I got to see Dan Boeckner and co. play. I haven’t seen them play since the La Sala Rossa shows last year and I was curious how the At Mount Zoomer tracks have matured in that time. To no surprise the new songs sounded far tighter than last year. There was a minor a slip during This Hearts On Fire (video below) but they played though it (I mean they’ll “never be as professional as a band like Interpol“). My highlight of the night was Kissing The Beehive. I met up with some of the guys from Cutting & Witty they preferred the I’ll Believe In Anything (too each their own). The sound at The Metropolis always amazes me and the set list was pretty much the same as it has been from the other shows I’ve read about on this tour. I guess I’ll come to terms with never hearing Killing Armies live.
