Emily Haines is a musical force to be reckoned with. Not
only is she the badass front woman of Metric, but she wowed with her sophomore
solo effort, Knives Don’t Have Your Back, and is a frequent collaborator
in musical collective Broken Social Scene. Still, her work in Metric with
bandmates James Shaw, Joshua Winstead and Joules Scott Key has arguably brought
her the most success. The band pens edgy dance-rock tunes in the same vein as
the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and Haines controls the stage much as Debbie Harry did in
Blondie—when the show starts, all eyes are on her.
Metric has released four records over its decade-plus lifespan, and its most recent, Fantasies, was forged in live environments—the band performed their new songs to audiences in order to feel out what changes needed to be made. Now, Metric is touring in support of the fully-fleshed tunes, catchy gems to add to a cache of great music.

They were so awesome live. Definitely one of my favourite shows this Lolla.
Sudharsan Raman , about 1 year agoSeeing Metric on the band line-up was the clincher for me to go to Lolla. Just a couple more days!!!!
Erica Meyers , about 1 year agoWe decided to fly from Austin to Chicago and attend Lollapalooza this year out of my desire to see Metric in concert while they're still touring for 'Fantasies'. This is my top show for the weekend! C3, if ACL gets an opening for another act snap them up!
