We got the word on this one from a reader named Kate, who informs us of the following:Broken Social Scene were going to have a show on the island in Toronto but because of the city strike they had to cancel it. As an apology of sorts last night they held a free show at the Harborfront. Needless to say the outdoor venue was packed. As was the sta...

Metric: New Metric Video - "Sick Muse"

submitted by Nick May 22nd 2009 06:01 pm (stereogum.com)

Metric: Make Fantasies a Reality

submitted by Nick Jan 29th 2009 01:00 pm (www.pitchforkmedia.com)

Photo by Kathryn Yu You can count on Metric lead singer Emily Haines to mix the most emo shit you've seen/heard in your life (see: her quite good and quite hushed solo album, a new "behind the music"-style video about Metric's upcoming album) with some real rock-star panache (see: opening for the Rolling Stones, her gold lamé outfit a...
