On Friday, November 20th, 2009, Hard Rock Cafe Boston and WFNX teamed up to host a private concert with the amazing Canadian rock band Metric. During an intimate acoustic set, lead singer Emily Haines and lead guitarist James Shaw highlighted songs from their amazing new album Fantasies. They played “Twilight Galaxy”, “Gold Guns Girls”, and “Gimme Sympathy” from the new album.
They also played “Combat Baby” from their past album Old World Underground and then finished by playing a song from The Strokes called “The End Has No End”. A great question and answer session followed the set, with one fan asking the band, “What's one of your favorite Metric songs?” Emily replied that it was “Empty” because it has an old classic rock feel, where it starts slow and ends great, comparing it to something akin to Pink Floyd. We have to agree, that is one damn good song.
The band stayed after to autograph CDs, as well as a guitar for Hard Rock, which will be later used for charity. We just wanted to thank Emily and James for stopping by and the fans for being so cool.
