Emily Haines (Metric) (x2) & Tall Firs @ Union Pool - pics
photos by Kyle Dean Reinford
As announced, Emily Haines played back to back shows at Union Pool in Brooklyn last night (Sept 7). The two Emily shows were followed by a third show where Emily joined former tour-mates Tall Firs on stage for a few songs. Ends up, the first two shows weren't Emily solo performances at all. She didn't even play one song off her solo album. Instead, she and Metric guitarist Jimmy Shaw played the new, unreleased 9-track Metric album in its entirety, acoustically, twice. They just finished recording it earlier that day - their reason for being in NYC. Both sets were identical and both ended with the older Metric favorite "Live it Out" - a song the crowd was invited to sing along to.
Future plans for Metric include releasing the new album in November or December, playing more stripped-down, full-album shows, and maybe even recording and releasing the acoustic live version. Kyle stayed for all three sets last night. The below pictures are a mix from all of them (and include the setlist aka the tracklist for the new album)....

what are the new songs like? more like Metric or more like "Knives Don't Have Your Back"?

much closer to other soft skeleton songs than metric songs.

show was great but emily kept touching my butt/rubbing up against me. oh wait, that was the dude standing next to me. but I can dream.

the new songs were tremendous, and i'm praying we'll hear them like this again.
i'd pay a lot for an audio recording of either of last night's sets.

It's a man man.

I was kinda bummed that both sets were the same but the new songs were really good so it wasnt too bad of a "surprise"
too bad they wont sound like that on the cd.
they should really release an acoustic cd as well

I honestly only wanted to see Emily solo, and doing the album twice was a dick move.
