As part of the collective that is the Broken Social Scene family, Emily Haines and her band, Metric, seem almost required to put on a powerful live show. While the band tends to play more jangly and pop tunes than Broken Social Scene, Haines’ remarkable stage presence and the band’s precision on the instruments creates an immersive experience for a Metric show. Having seen them in New Orleans at The Republic last November, I can attest to the fun that is a live show with this band. After the show was over, I remember walking out with my friends and just looking at them with a silly grin and a bewildered look on my face. I think my best friend summed up their show best: “Emily Haines. That is all.”
