Vocalist Emily Haines and guitarist James Shaw met in a Toronto club after attending a concert by mutual friends and discovering they both hated the show. Their musical bonds established, the two mixed a few of their own songs together, creating what would become <I>The Mainstream</I>EP, a collection of demos. Upon moving to Brooklyn, they dubbed their project Metric after a sequence that Shaw played on his keyboard. A record deal (and the desire to escape their NYC hovel) then lead them to London. Yet in 2001 their first full-length, <I>Grow Up and Blow Away,</I> wasn't released due to legal conflicts. Returning to New York, they met drummer Joules Scott-Key (a Texan) and became a trio. However, it took two years before Metric put out their proper debut <I>Old World Underground, Where Are You Now?</I>, a disc full of new wave nods and punk-funk electronics. In 2005, the group released <I>Live It Out</I>, a record focused more on guitars than drum machines. The disc was so well-received it scored Metric a slot opening for the Rolling Stones, an experience they now call "surreal." - Michele K-Tel'00s Alternativeen720Fri, 20 Nov 2009 16:37:52 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.5237157&variant=artist-playlists&rws=%2Fmetric%2Fplaylists.rss Currently based out of Toronto, indietronic act Metric actually formed in Brooklyn in 1998.
