    A few weeks ago, the Toronto trio Metz was played a midafternoon gig at the South by Southwest Music Conference in Austin, Texas, with such fury that the welt-inducing performance left me questioning the band members’ physical well-being and sanity. Alex Edkins was wrestling his guitar to the ground like it was a writhing alligator. Chris Slorach was pogoing while screwing his bass guitar into an amplifier.

    Rain delayed the start of the Pitchfork Music Festival on Friday, and then it came down hard again around dinner hour. But the music played on. While A$AP Rocky delivered the party rap on one of the main stages, keeping the crowd energized through the downpour, Tim Hecker provided a gloomy electronic sidetrack on a smaller stage at the southwestern edge of Union Park.
