METROPOLITAN Metropolitan, hailing from Washington, DC, is John Masters (guitar, vox), Saadat Awan (drums), and Shyam Telikicherla (bass). The band began as a collaboration between guitarists John and Aidan Coughlan in late 1998, and they recorded their first record "Side Effects" in 1999. After undergoing several lineup changes since the group's incarnation, Metropolitan is now a solid trio. John, Shyam and Saadat played their first gig together in January of 2001, and since then have released a split single with the group Calibos and shared the stage with numerous bands, including the Dismemberment Plan and Bis. Among numerous other groups, much influence comes from the Velvets, Spacemen 3, Pavement, the Residents, Sonic Youth, Television, the Dead C., and Galaxie 500.
