Metric | Terminal 5

Metric

One of the hardest working groups around, frontwoman Emily Haines and the fellas in Metric are known for their commitment to touring. But that doesn’t mean a show by this Toronto-bred, New Wave-y band should be put off 'til "next time"—they’re total pros who know how to put on a theatrically engaging performance (video projections, light shows, LOOK AT THESE PHOTOS), and their new album, “Fantasies,” has garnered some of the highest praise in the band’s career. And who knows, they might soon have to take off another chunk of time for Haines and guitarist James Shaw to perform their duties with indie supergroup Broken Social Scene. Just saying. With Sebastien Grainger and the Mountains and Smile Smile.
