I saw them live at The Independent in San Fransisco, I was close enough to the stage to touch it. They most certainly DO have an awesome live show. It was an amazing show.
It's...ok. Good not Great. I'm appreciate that she's not all pierced up. The energy level in this video didn't make it seem like they'd have stage presence. Like I said, good not great.
i discovered this song in a quebecer tv show named 'Les Invincibles' and now i can't stop listening this genius band!! Elizabeth have a beautiful and powerful voice!
i've recently got into them too.. very good stuff. get any of their ep's/records. songs to listen to: some are lakes, summer special, breaxxbaxx, it's okay... any of them.. listen to it all!
@UrSooperJealous 'Some Are Lakes', 'It's Okay', 'The Man Who Breaks Things', 'Swift Coin', 'Quarry Hymns' for starters. I realize this is an old question, but in case you still needed to know.
you must be ignorant to think that Sonic Youth is less "awesome" than Fugazi. But then again, its just a matter of taste isn't it. Still i'd prefer Sonic Youth.
A direct rip off? The music is different, the lyrics are half similar, and the lyrical pattern is set at different speeds. Music is all about patterns, though, and it's impossible to come up with completely original patterns. A musician will inevitably copy a pattern from an existing one in any given song. Shall we discredit all blues and classical music because of the prevalent patterns in each genre? But you seem to worship Fugazi, so I'd expect a fanatical yes.
@DrJohnsonMD follow your reccomendations trail and sift through the sub-par until you find something you like,ask people you admire for their tastes,look up soundtracks to adverts, films, and tv shows (whatever you think of them the twilight franchise and skins -american and british- all have great ones) listen to the radio (zane lowes 9pm slot on radio 1 is occasionallly worth listening to) you could also read nme but i wouldn't bother.. :)
Liz Powell is not so much an Emily Haines wannabe, but the middle sister in the Broken Social Scene lineage. The complete little sister is still in the shadows somewhere...

SEND THIS OVER TO 5 VIDEOS IN 143 MINUTES WHEN UR DONE PRESS F6 AND UR CRUSHES NAME WILL APPEAR ON THE SCREEN IN BIG LETTERS. THIS IS SO SCARY BECAUSE IT ACTUALLY WORKs
But the fact that youre making these comparisons because they're females bothers me. You wouldn't compare Brendan Canning to Kevin Drew with their appearance.
Your comment was stupid. Besides, Emily would totally kick Elizabeth's ass.
If you've ever been to a Metric show or seen Emliy Haines play you would preobably know she is possibley the biggest bitch on earth. i liked her until i heard some of the stuf she said. At a show in my town she told the crowd they were the reason Kurt Cobain killed himself and stumbled off stage after like half a song
Well, considering what other bands he was clumped in with on MTV, I'd probably come off as a pretentious dick being compared to Alice in Chains, and having everyone in my private life all the time. as well.
Good for them. Played a show with them in NYC a couple years ago before their current manager picked 'em up and got them going. Liz is looking great. Video doesn't do them justice, and this isn't their best song at all. Summer special is my fav.
she really doesnt have the voice for this. don't get me wrong she has a good voice, just not for this style. kinda sounds like pulling the claws off of a cat.
Pandora Radio led me to these guys =)

The part at 3:12 sounds a lot similar to the chorus from Smallpox Champion by Fugazi.

oh and the slap didn't work, still blatant rip off.
I demand that 20 seconds be removed.
I will be writing Ian and Guy about this matter.
and they don't have a sense of humor.
