We know it, the Canadians and British know it (and the rest of the world), I just hope the USA are cottoning on. Metric’s great! Emily Haines had enough energy to keep Capitol jumping around, and that’s after playing a show at Parklife, which I now wish I had of seen. They played a set that had long track intros and outros, balancing high energy tracks with nice slow moments. Early on they played what seemed like an extended version of Monster Hospital that had a cool jam session at the end of it. I didn’t know much about the entire Metric tracklist, but I especially like Death Disco now and Satellite Mind, a number of their tracks reminded me of Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and that made it especially cool, I think Emily Haines stage person is quite wild, like Karen O. And ofcourse Gold Guns Girls, Collect Call and Help I’m Alive had everyone with arms in the air. I can’t remember what track the mcing came in on, but it added so much more to Metric’s set, come to think of it, there seemed to be lots of freedom to their set, and they got the crowd involved a few times, it definitely added leagues to the feel of the night. Finishing with Stadium Love, and a wall of sound, they reminded me again, why live music can be so good. And no encore impressed me, we love you Metric.

Monster Hospital was one of my favourite tracks when I got into the whole indie electro side of music. I remember dancing around with Jack Attack having a gay old time, enjoying the excitement of the blog scene in Perth. Now Metric are coming out with track after track that I’ve really enjoyed especially, Collect Call and Gold Guns and Girls, which were/are on high rotation on the radio. Go to their myspace to get a free copy of Help I’m Alive.
