No one wanted to hear the phrase “warm up” in early August after weeks of watching the mercury snake into the high nineties and beyond. The exception? This preview party at Mad Art Gallery, billed as a warmup to Metropolis’ annual outdoor music festival, The Lot. Co-sponsored by St. Louis Magazine, the party stayed lively as ice-cold beer flowed and bands Team Tomato and Full Day Affair rocked out on the cabaret-size stage in the main gallery.
