“Nothing Is Perfect” might be true, but the newest song and video from alt-rock band Metric shows a band can still surprise due to how consistent they remain.

Metric came through Los Angeles last week for an explosive performance at the Hollywood Palladium. The Canadian band are touring in support of their seventh studio album, Art of Doubt. It had been a few years since Metric played Los Angeles, and fans came out in droves filling the Palladium from top-to-bottom. If there is […]

Night Terrors of 1927 Day two of Life is Beautiful was the most jam-packed day of the downtown Las Vegas festival schedule-wise. It makes sense. People that drove in from LA or flew in from elsewhere get to enjoy a full day’s worth of music whereas the other two days are sometimes eaten up by […]

We’re all searching for something in life, and Metric’s new video for “Lost Kitten” is a cute, flamboyant and fun depiction of just that. Directed by Sammy Rawal and and shot over two days in Mexico City, “Lost Kitten” runs like a sassy fairy tale with brilliant colors and amusing personalites. It follows acclaimed ballroom […]

Damn! Only half-way through the year and so many great musicians have put out some killer albums! It was far too hard just to keep it at five albums, so I had to bump it to 10 and even that was tough. I can’t wait to see what the latter half of 2009 has in […]

This past Sunday’s 94/9 Independence Jam, proved all the more reason why California (So Cal in particular)is hands down the best place to live! The weather was perfect, sun was shining and the vast Pacific blue was directly behind us as we rocked out to The Creepy Creeps, Scarlet Symphony, Metric, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and […]

I love Metric and all things Emily Haines. Although their new album Fantasies doesn’t quite tickle my fancy as did their prior albums, I can’t seem to get the catchy “Gimmie Sympathy” out of my head. As the hook goes “who would you rather be, The Beatles of The Rolling Stones?” I’ve been asked this […]

SNOOZE YOU LOOSE!!!! This is going to be an awesome beach-side show!

Coachella may have kicked off the spring/summer festival season, but small live shows are looking good and plenty this season. So many things to do and people to see, yet such little time. These are Grimy’s hot picks for May 2009: The Silversun Pickups – April 30 at the Echoplex in LA. Unfortunately, this sold […]

Damn, I wish I still lived in Carlsbad/San Diego (for countless reasons). This would be just a fun drunken bike ride away. I will be there nonetheless, soaking up that beautiful San Diego sun as I listen to some of my favorite bands on the O’side beach. FM94/9 is bringing back the Independence Jam at […]

Many try to imitate but they surely can’t create, such a dope ass female fronted band as Metric (everyone else in the quartet is male). Front woman, Emily Haines has a sick style and voice to match. From “Grow up and Blow Away” to “Live it Out,” the music they’ve put out is sexy, stylish, […]

The power of the noni, and I ain’t talkin’ about that acai berry knock off (although it’s pretty damn good), I’m talking about women! There’s some bad ass chicks that just fuckin rock and own the crowd before them. From way back in the 60’s to today’s queens of rock, both men and women alike […]

I’ve been a fan of Metric for quite some time and they’re just one of those bands you never get sick of seeing live. The last time I saw them was back in October with Crystal Castles at the House of Blues in San Diego. That was probably their best performance I saw yet. Especially […]
