Metric played a private show for Rolling Stone | Watch it

Metric @ Rolling stone “Singer Emily Haines and guitarist James Shaw, half of Canadian electropop foursome Metric, dropped by Rolling Stone’s Times Square studio to play a bare-bones set of songs off their sophomore album, 2005’s Live It Out. Shedding their club-friendly sound to go acoustic, Haines and Shaw — both also members of Toronto outfit Broken Social Scene — channeled mellow moods on the album’s haunting title track and offer up a powerful cover of late singer-songwriter Elliott Smith’s tune ‘Between the Bars.'”

Rolling Stone (magazine) has the videos. I’m guessing this happened while they were here to also play the China Club. Still no official word on a Metric date at McCarren Pool (anyone know anything?), but Emily will definitely be back to play solo in September. Metric opened for the Rolling Stones (band) back in January.
