Metric

Metric is a band that plays indie rock, indie pop and New Wave. The band has four members. Emily Haines on vocals and the bands synthesizer, James Shaw for guitarist, then Josh Winstead as the bassist and Joules Scott-Key as drummer guy.

Emily Haines`s talent sort of runs in the family. Her father, Paul Haines, is a so called well-known canadian poet, and her sister is a canadian television journalist, Avery Haines. Her brother, Tim Haines owns Bluestreak Records in Peterborough, Ontario, Canada, but if you ask me, people should set their sights a little higher than owner of a music store. She was born in New Delhi, India, and raised in Canada. Her father often made musical and inspiring songs, and soul inspiring art. Her young influences were Carla Bley, Robert Wyatt and PJ Harvey.

Now, theres alot more people who don`t know about her, but it would take up way too much time and effort to research, so go on a site like wikipedia or something. I was just giving some backround stuff.

Metric is a very well performed band, and they could start a new techno thing. Techno indie band.... That`s setting your sights high!
