Emily Haines, how could I even begin to explain Ms. Haines? She is vivid, colorful and a flamboyant performer willing to give you as much or even more than you, as an audience, are willing to give her. Metric gave an amazing performance Monday night at the Wiltern in Hollywood. They started off with off the night with songs off of their new record Fantasies, but they also favored their beloved fans with songs like Dead Disco, Monster Hospital and Live It Out.
Haines lead her audience in harmonic choruses as she paraded around the stage in a shiny short dress. She went from left to right, always keeping an equal balance between both sides, and even putting her arm out into the crowd.
The crowd was no less excited; they jumped up and down and sang along to Metric's old hits as well as their new catchy tunes.
Haines pulled out her tambourine many times throughout the show, adding a special sound to the Metric's softer songs. But when it was time to dance, Haines and her boys danced and jumped. It is as if Metric fed off of their audiences' excited spirit.
Overall, Metric rocked the Wiltern and ended with a soft bang; an acoustic version of Live It Out.
