The heat was on in the streets of London when indie superstars Metric played another sold out tour date at Centennial Hall on October 23.

From the moment Emily Haines took centre stage to sing Help, I'm Alive, the crowd was at her mercy for the entire show, with Metric's signature wave of hypnotic electro-rock.

Haines' dynamite energy and unique vocals impressed fans, solidified her reputation as “the ultimate frontwoman.” She had a stage presence that had the crowd engaged and interacting with her. She rocked through with high-powered energy to such hits as Dead Disco, Give Me Sympathy and Sick Muse, as well as a well-received acoustic version of Combat Baby, and as bonus she jumped into Monster Hospital, which was one of Metric's encore acts that shot another jolt of energy into fans prompting more dancing.

Haines danced and sang throughout the entire performance without taking a break. Even while she was jamming on her synthesizer she did not rest and gave the crowd a highly electric performance that is unique and entertaining.

Metric was on fire and delivering to the audience exactly what they wanted. Crowd surfing and trance-light shows abounded. It created a sense of real entertainment and everyone could see why Metric have become one of Canada's biggest music sensations in the last five years.
