Phenomenal venue and a speechless performance. After contributing to the soundtracks of “Twilight Saga: Eclipse” and “Scot Pilgrim vs. the World”, Metric toured in support of Muse and released the remix album “Fantasies Flashback” in 2011. In late 2011 it was announced that the band would be contributing to the soundtrack of David Cronenberg's 2012 drama film entitled Cosmopolis. We're still in the game as musicians and people, although the game has gotten increasingly unrecognizable to us." Grow Up and Blow Away included the uptempo songs "Grow Up and Blow Away", "Raw Sugar", and "Soft Rock Star", as well as downtempo songs "White Gold", "The Twist", and "Rock Me Now" (which included falsetto singing by Shaw and spoken-word vocals by Haines in a manner reminiscent of "The Mandate", and had an overall jazzy vibe). The band then moved to Los Angeles, where they performed locally, often playing at Silverlake Lounge and Spaceland. Their first CD, called Old World Underground, Where Are You Now? "Synthetica was about the battle between what's human and what's artificial, and integrating technology into our lives," Haines explains, referring to the band's — Haines, Shaw, bassist Josh Winstead and drummer Joules Scott-Key — acclaimed 2012 LP. On June 8, 2010, the Twilight Saga: Eclipse soundtrack was released featuring Metric' song "Eclipse (All Yours)". Sadly the sound was off, several other fans and I discussed this, Emily's vocals were too low and the guitar and bass almost drowned her out :( I have seen other shows here and this was not a problem then so I don't know what was going on. Some of their songs (like "IOU", "Succexy", "Combat Baby", "Monster Hospital") include anti-war messages. An acoustic version of the song can be found on the Expanded Edition of Fantasies. Under the "Emily Haines and the Soft Skeleton" moniker, she released the 2006 studio album Knives Don't Have Your Back, followed in 2007 by the EP What Is Free to a Good Home?. Haines explains it was about finding "the romance of another time without falling into nostalgia." Throughout the summer of 2007, four new songs were road-tested by the band, tentatively named "Black Sheep", "The Hooks", "Stadium Love", and "Up in Flames". On the + side dresses were nice. And on the alternately dark and buoyant "For Kicks," she flips the traditional breakup song on its head. Metric have mostly played smaller venues in the USA and Europe, often opening for some of the world's most exciting bands such as Modest Mouse, Arcade Fire and The Rolling Stones. The front band, The Elwins, did a superb job stoking the crowd of nearly 1,000 to a feverish pitch. Haines featured as vocalist on their albums You Forgot It in People, Bee Hives, Broken Social Scene and Forgiveness Rock Record. [70], To kick off their tour and as a treat to fans, September 24, 2015 Metric played Danforth Music Hall in Toronto.[74]. [19], On January 4, 2011, Metric released an iTunes Session EP exclusively on iTunes, consisting of 8 live tracks, including "Hustle Rose", "Empty" and a cover of the Buffalo Springfield song "Expecting to Fly", and a 30-minute interview. During Metric live performances, Haines sings and plays two synthesizers and occasionally plays a tambourine or a guitar. On trippy "Celebrate," she grapples with how the time of obliviously reveling in your own good fortune without paying any attention to what's going on around you is over. The songs "Down" and "Tortury" were later reworked as Metric songs, with the latter being renamed to "Torture Me". [70] They also collaborated with Lou Reed. The band released all the individual tracks as well as their stems so that the general public could remix the songs. {{collectionsDisplayName(searchView.appliedFilters)}}, {{searchText.groupByEventToggleImages()}}, {{searchText.groupByEventToggleEvents()}}. They all danced giddily and interacted with one another in a unique way, almost as if they were experiencing as one soul. Whole band seemed relaxed and in good spirits. In the same year, the band released Static Anonymity, a five-song EP which they sold only at Metric performances and on their official site. A music video for "Dark Saturday," which was shot entirely on an iPhone X, was released on July 17, 2018, along with a link to pre-order the upcoming album, although at that time no title or track listing had been confirmed. Metric's music style has been described as indie rock[2] and alternative rock,[2] with elements of new wave,[2] post-punk revival,[2] synthpop,[2] and dance-rock. [2][3] After releasing an EP titled Mainstream EP, they changed the band's name to Metric. Metric's fourth album Fantasies was released in 2009. [citation needed]. It was finally released in 2007 on Last Gang Records. [77], Metric served as the opening act for the North American dates of The Smashing Pumpkins' "Shiny and Oh So Bright" reunion tour, which ran from July through September 2018. Metric has performed music for the upcoming zombie video game Dying Light 2. The reworked version of "Down" featured later on the 2001 EP Static Anonymity and "Torture Me" on the unreleased version of the album Grow Up and Blow Away. A few days later the stream became publicly available.[23]. Set and lights fantastic but it was Emily Haines who's unlimited energy stole the show. Metric performed at the Stanley Cup 125th Tribute Concert in Ottawa, Ontario, March 17, 2017. Metric’s first official full-length album “Old World Underground, Where Are You Now?” was released 2003 on Everloving Records.
