I remember seeing Emily Haines with her own band (soft skeleton, I believe) at the Varsity. I enjoyed a few tracks from the album, but her stuff never really clicked with me.
I had heard Metric before and went with my friend Heather who is in love with Emily Haines. (Which is ironic because my friend Stew is also in love with her.) Their music comes across much more danceable, more energetic, more raw, and more edgier live. Definitely a rock band who wants to dance as much as you do.
She was wearing a long shirt tailored to a dress. Which showed pretty much everything from her ankles to her butt. Very much a sensory overload of sexiness.
She made me a fan and I would definitely see them live again (with or without the seductive dress)
