Metavari LIVE @ Beaver Falls Coffee & Tea Co.

Metavari are an instrumental post-rock trio from Fort Wayne, Ind. When I saw they were playing at Beaver Falls Coffee & Tea Co., I was concerned. Potentially loud rock with no vocals goes against the “lonely Nick Drake afficienado with acoustic guitar” norm that seems to populate a lot of coffee houses, but this really had the potential to work. And it did, in spades.
