July 15, 2010 by Lachy 1 Comment

Metric Do Daytrotter

July 14, 2010 by Lachy 0 Comments

The always wonderful Daytrotter recorded a brief session with the equally also always wonderful Metric during this year’s massive SXSW festival.

Musical comedian Justin Heazlewood AKA The Bedroom Philosopher is hitting the road in the coming months in support of his third album, ‘Songs From The 86 Tram’.
