Metric Tickets

I love indie kids, but there is a rather unfortunate phenomenon of us, well, not dancing. Not only not dancing, but sulking around with our rectangular plastic glasses and plaid and acting as if amazing music isn't affecting us. Not so at this Metric concert, which I think might have something to do with Emily's charisma. It was magical. The music was perfect: the voice and instrumental quality was just as good as the albums, with the added bonus of an entertaining live performance.

Metrics performance alone was amazing and have yet to be let down! I saw Metric my first time at First Ave and it was great because a lot of people didn't really know hwo they were and you could enjoy the concert without all the bull. now 5 years later the crowed was filled with psycho fans, immature people, and constant fight picking. Maybe the shows really should be 21 and up! As for Metric! Amazing and I would go see them any chance you get!

The show was great! Metric rocked! The only downside was they didn't play as long as I would have liked.

really love this show. Metric was amazing live, so much energy and such diehard fans. I'm going everytime they're in town.

One of the best shows i've been to in a long time. Inspiring tones and great light show. Huge amount of genuine passion coming from the stage. Overall Metric was tight as can be and were positive and inspiring in so many ways. Highly recommend this band to anyone into electronically influenced rock and roll and looking for a great live show. This band delivered huge, way beyond my expectations.

Metric rocked 1st Avenue's face off!!! Amazingly talented band, great stage presence, awesome venue. What more could you ask for?

Beautiful music, great beats, lots and lots of fun! Emily Haines is such a talented artist and awesome to see live. Metric puts on one of the most amazing shows I have ever seen!

Hadn't been to a rock concert since Fleetwood Mac toured Seattle in '76. I heard Metric on the radio, liked their music and bought Fantasies when it finally hit the shelves. Bought tickets and told my wife we were seeing Metric in Portland in a few weeks. I have to say she was a pretty good sport about the whole thing. I think we were just about the oldest people there not escorting underage people. The band sat in the adjoining booth next to us in the Underwonder for a few minutes until they decided to dine elsewhere. They were quiet and polite. It was exciting to see them up close. Can't imagine what it's like to be on road like that all of the time. What can I say? Metric is great! The music is driving, original, and lots of fun to listen to. Both the Underwonder and bar in the loft area of the ball room are staffed with friendly people who mix a pretty strong drink, I must say. It was great time.

The Metric show at First Ave. was great! It was very high energy and kept the audience dancing throughout. Loved it!

Metric's high energy performance felt intimate in the shabby small venue.

If anyone is having doubts about "Fantasies", don't make any final judgments until you hear it live. Emily's energy truly ramps up the similar sounding tracks making you want to jump around with the mosh pit to "Stadium Love" and "Help, I'm Alive". This album is definitely a logical step for the band with the new popularity of electronic indie (Bloc Party, MGMT, etc) but Metric still adds their own twist. Overall, great concert, great venue, definitely go if you get the chance.

For my first time seeing Metric live after heavily enjoying their music for years, it was nothing less than amazing to see them finally. And they did not let me down either. The sheer fact of seeing Emily Haines would have been good enough if their performance was only sub-par, but it was so much more. Although they focused on playing tracks from their most recent album "Fantasies," I had no complaints, considering it is my favorite album of theirs to date. Opening with Twilight Galaxy was completely unexpected but it led me to love the song more than I ever did previously. Of course they played some classic fan-favorites as well, which were great to hear. They closed with a phenomenal acoustic (or as Emily described it, a bedtime lullaby) version of Live It Out. Bottom line: it was money well spent. Metric is one of the few bands who focuses on music for music's sake, not for popularity or the next pay day. Emily is a truly brilliant woman with a unique head on her shoulders and a point of view to which I always want to listen.

The line around athe block (plus some) should tell you how excited fan's were to finally see Metric up close and personal. Besides the typical "headlining band making you wait 20 minutes before their stage appearance".... it was worth the wait. I would see them again!!! Even the opening bands were very entertaining!

Metric was spectacular live. I had listened to their new CD a couple times, but it didn't really have the same feel as their other CD's. But seeing them live was a whole different story. They rocked the stage with every single song and kept me moving all night long!

The Metric show at 1st Avenue in Minneapolis was excellent! A sold-out house, and a perfect summer evening combined to make it one of the more memorable shows I've seen. Plus, Metric is definitely a band on their way up, which makes it all the sweeter to catch them at a "small" venue before they explode into arena tours.

This was my first time seeing Metric live and it was great. The band had so much energy and they gave an outstanding performance!! If that wasnt their last show I would of went to the next one!!

First time at this venue, and it did not let us down. We were about 15 feet from the stage, and the show was amazing. Energetic, unique, exciting performance...They rocked the **** out of that place, no doubt.

In a really agreeable manner. Good musicians. Hawt dance moves.

The show was packed since it sold out the day of, but it was still amazing!!!! They put on a great show, for a reasonable price. What more could you ask for?

I adore Metric, and I've already been to several of their concerts. This one did not disappoint. They came out for an encore, and I also enjoyed the opening acts.
