Those in attendance at last night's Metric show at Radio City Music Hall got a special treat: The band did a couple songs with local musician Lou Reed. Reed was a guest on Metric's Synthetica , and the band-plus-Reed performed "The Wanderlust," from that album, as well as the Velvet Underground classic "Pale Blue Eyes." We've got fan-filmed footage of both songs. Check em out. Read More...

So we typically toss a video onto a post when highlighting a new band or a show preview or something and let you draw your own conclusion about it. Sometimes we throw a change-up... strike that - let’s call it a round up. Most of these videos are of bands we have previously talked about here on Draw Us Lines, so we won’t be telling you much about those bands themselves, just some musings that really aren’t worth a damn. If a picture is worth 1000 words, then a video must be worth a million. Hold on to your hats! [...]
El gran evento que se celebra cada año en Grant Park, Chicago, sin duda y como siempre, fue trascendental, a pesar del pequeño incidente que se vivió con el clima de esa ciudad en el segundo día del festival, cosa que obligó a los organizadores a desalojar a la gente y retrasar un poco ese [...]

Seattle's KEXP and npr present Metric perfoming "Synthetica" in a Washington state valley. The video is a part of the Field Recordings series where artists perform in outdoor scenarios. Metric are no stranger to acoustic versions of their songs. The Emily Haines vocal paired with an acoustic guitar is subtle but demonstrates a different view of Metric's music. The landscape [...]

Yesterday, Metric dropped their fifth studio album Synthetica. Their lead single, "Youth Without Youth," has gotten the video treatment. Is it me or does this sound a bit like a song that Muse would do. Anyway, the rest of the album doesn't. Head to their site and stream it [ here ] before you buy it. Check out the lovely Emily Haines and co, below.
So what if Metric 's "Youth Without Youth," the first single off their new album "Synthetica" (out today via MMI and Mom + Pop), sounds a bit like Muse. The band's "Fantasies" (2009) had a glimmer of glam-pop, and they've run with it by turning up the slink through Emily Haines' vocals on the new record. Since the frontwoman's idea of "synthetica" first derived from a "Blade Runner" reference, Justin Broadbent's sinuously seductive take on the song seems more than appropriate. ||| Stream: "Speed the Collapse" and "Youth Without Youth" (previously [...]

Coincidiendo con la salida de su nuevo álbum Synthetica en Norteamérica el día de hoy, la banda comandada por Emily Haines acaba de estrenar el clip para el single cabecera del disco. La minimalista pieza audiovisual para acompañar a Youth Without Youth estuvo dirigida por Justin Broadbent y "funde lo viejo con lo nuevo a través de elementos y temáticas presentes en Synthetica , al tiempo que sutilmente se hacen [...]
