It was perhaps inevitable that Emily Haines would become a writer/lyricist and musician; her dad (Paul Haynes), was a revered Avant Garde poet and musician. Emily formed her first band at age 15 (Edith’s Mission) with school pal Amy Millan (STARS). She spent her University years in Vancouver (UBC) and Montreal (Concordia) before meeting James (Jimmy) Shaw in 1997 and forming the band that would become Metric. 2023 finds the group celebrating the 20th anniversary of their debut album ‘Old World Underground, Where are You Now’ and releasing their ninth full length LP, ‘Formetera II’.
