A House Call With Ted Leo At Metro
The M.O. had some “all access” passes for Ted Leo and the Pharmacists at Metro, so why not make the time? We missed Ted’s set at Lollapalooza (when he cut his hand but still managed to spin at The Hideout afterwards, where we caught up with him), so it was most excellent seeing him back in full force. And… we went “retro”: relying on the Berkphone® for all photos, etc. (Berkcam® requested the night off in preparation for our big trip to Beijing, China next week.)
Proving he meant it when he told us that Daft Punk had the set of the night at Lollapalooza back in August, Ted broke out a sweet rendition of “One More Time” at the Metro show. Ugh… where are you Berkcam®? Afterwards, the remainder of the crew headed to The Mutiny to catch The Mekons. Rest assured that nobody drove through Taco Bell en route, to collect on Ted’s $500 in free food.
“No fear, pioneers, we were on our way…”
