Warehouse Live

Metric are a new wave/indie rock band that was formed in 1998 in New York City, United States. They are currently based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The band consists of Emily Haines (vocals, keyboards), James Shaw (guitar), Josh Winstead (bass) and Joules Scott-Key (drums). Their debut album, Grow Up and Blow Away, was recorded in 2001, but the official release was delayed for years by their record label. As the years passed, the band's sound changed to the point where they no longer felt the album would be what the fans expected to hear, so Metric recorded a completely new album, Old World Underground, Where Are You Now?, that was released in 2003. Their third album, Live It Out, was originally released in 2005, but followed by a Drowned in Sound UK release in 2006. Last Gang Records later purchased the rights to their delayed album, Grow Up and Blow Away, did minor changes to the tracklist and released it on June 26, 2007. Haines and Shaw also perform with Broken Social Scene, and Haines has been a guest on albums by Stars, kc accidental, Delerium, The Stills, and Jason Collett. Scott-Key and Winstead have their own side project, bang lime, and Haines has released a solo album under the name Emily Haines & the Soft Skeleton. Metric is also featured on the Cannes-awarded (Best Actress) film "Clean", playing themselves. Their latest album, Fantasies, was released in 2009.

Band of Skulls is an alternative rock band that formed in 2008 in Southampton, England. It consists of Russel Marsden (guitar, vocals), Emma Richardson (bass, vocals), and Matt Hayward (drums), who formed a band after they all met in college. Initially, they played at night clubs in the greater London area and recorded some demos under the name of Fleeing New York before changing their name to Band of Skulls in November 2008. Their debut album Baby Darling Dollface Honey, distributed by Shangri-La Music, was released exclusively on the iTunes Store on 6 March 2009, followed by a general release on 20 March. The track I Know What I Am was chosen as iTunes' free Single of the Week to coincide with the digital release.
