Live DVD: Metric - Live At Metropolis
February 8th, 2008 - by Eddie
We got Metric’s upcoming “Metric: Live at Metropolis” at the office a month ago and, as I’m sure I’ve mentioned before, I’ve been super laze checking it out (although it is partly beer and Nintendo Wii’s fault).
The DVD shows, in full, a show the band played at the Metropolis in Montreal. To be honest, I didn’t know much about Metric prior to getting this. I only knew that vocalist Emily Haines and gutiarist James Shaw are also part of the super indie rock group Broken Social Scene.
After seeing this concert footage, it’s safe to say that I am now a fan.
First: the quality. It’s great. It captures the show in clear view, from different angles, but also preserves the energy that Haines and Shaw exude on stage. It’s completely hypnotic.
Haines: What is it about the strung-out-looking indie chick that I dig so much? And I love how she dances with the keyboards by bending her knees to the left and right.
