Metric, Broken Social Scene and Stars brought their “All the Feelings Tour” to Brooklyn Paramount, presenting a shared celebration of the bands’ pasts while stressing their continuing relevance. The review argues that the concert avoided empty nostalgia by framing their long-running careers through friendship, collaboration and the prospect of a future rather than simply revisiting an earlier indie-rock era.

The three Canadian-connected acts have deep personal and professional ties spanning Toronto, Montreal, New York and the Arts & Crafts Productions orbit, including relationships dating back decades. That history made the triple bill feel like a reunion for Gen X and older millennial fans, with the first of two Brooklyn Paramount dates serving as a testament to the enduring connections between the musicians and their audience.
