Metric will follow up their performance at SXSW (where Emily Haines also sang with Broken Social Scene) with a series of Canadian shows this April. They return to Texas in May, and then head to New York and a few other cities for select shows including Terminal 5 on Sunday, May 16th. Fanclub presale for those dates is going on now.
