| abstract | - Metric is a Canadian indie band founded in 1998 in Toronto, consisting of vocalist Emily Haines (who also plays the synthesizer and guitar), guitarist James Shaw (who also plays the synthesizer and theremin), bassist Josh Winstead and drummer Joules Scott-Key. The band (originally comprised of Haines, the daughter of British poet Paul Haines, and Shaw, a Julliard-trained guitarist who she met in Toronto) formed in 1998 under the name Mainstream, and released an EP that was electronica-based. In the fall of that year, Haines and Shaw moved to New York to work on new material, renaming the group Metric as a result. During this time, they also released their first official LP, Grow Up And Blow Away in 2001. Later that year, the group brought on Scott-Key (a native of Flint, Michigan who was studying at the University of Texas) and his friend Winstead, who both performed music and met the duo during a trip to New York. With the new lineup, Metric released their first full-length album, Old World Underground, Where Are You Now?, in 2003 and earned a Juno Award nomination for Best Alternative Album. Their follow-up CD, Live It Out, was released in 2005 and was nominated for the 2006 Polaris Music Prize for the Canadian Album of The Year and the Juno Award nomination for Best Alternative Album. Their latest album, Fantasies, was nominated for the 2009 Polaris Music Prize for Canadian Album of the Year, and won Alternative Album of the Year at the 2010 Juno Awards. The band is known for a heavy mix of fast-paced New Wave/electropop music, which became their signature sound. In addition to her work with the band, Haines has performed with various indie bands, including Broken Social Scene (with Shaw), Stars, KC Accidental and The Stills, and has also recorded two solo albums (under Emily Haines and the Soft Skeleton), Knives Don't Have Your Back and What Is Free to a Good Home? The other band members have also branched into side projects. Discography:

- Yes indeed, under his peculiar helmet (one horn pointing down, the other pointing up), Metric never lacks imagination when it comes to entertaining the population! Best of all, he's a connoisseur: he tells his «entertainment's manager» to make sure that the pieces are not cut too small so that everyone can see them! The rest of the time, he dreams of nothing more than invading Gaul and the Roman Empire, leading him to order his men to capture the best druid around so as to exploit his magic, with the ultimate aim of replacing Julius Caesar as Emperor. Unfortunately for him, the druid in question is none other than Getafix, who uses all his cunning and his magic potion to stir up chaos and confusion in Germania. Soon, every Goth has drunk the magic concoction and wants to take over the position of chief Goth! Metric finds himself dethroned by Rhetoric, his vile interpreter, before gathering together an army and plunging his people into a series of interminable intestinal wars. Well, we did warn you: with Metric, everything is simple - as long as he keeps a measure of the situation!
