CMW 2013 | SiriusXM Indie Awards Part 5

After the awards were all handed out, the only performers left were east coast rocker Matt Mays and Toronto band Metric. The audience was pumped and you could feel the energy throughout The Kool Haus.

I absolutely love Metric. I also got to see them perform at Osheaga last year (and ran into them in downtown Montreal!) but this was awesome to be seeing them from the photo pit right up front!

Metric won the award for favourite Group or Duo of the Year and the award for Best-Selling Independent Release of the Year for Synthetica.

CMW 2013 | SiriusXM Indie Awards Part 1

Last Friday, I got to cover the SiriusXM Indie Awards for Faze Magazine. This year, they moved the event to a new venue: the Kool Haus. I thought it was a great set-up and I had a lot of fun! I took tons of photos, so I'm going to separate this into a few different posts - enjoy!
