Bucky Awards - VOTE!

Hey Canada--

We've been added to the CBC 3 Bucky Award short list! This is the very award Emily won in 2007 for her solo composition Doctor Blind: "Best Song to Listen to While in the Fetal Position" (which she displays with pride on her coffee table at home in Toronto). From now until November 29th, you can go to CBC Radio 3 and vote every damn day if you wish (it takes less than 30 seconds to vote). Winners will be announced in a special live broadcast of Grant Lawrence Live on Wednesday, December 9th, on cbcradio3.com and Sirius 86.

Canadian Tour Report

Our epic sold out Canadian tour ended on a high note last week with a concert at one of the most beautiful theatres in the country, the Orpheum in Vancouver. We were seriously blown away by the overwhelming response in every city and we're running out of new ways to express our gratitude to everyone who came out and brought the rock! Especially hope all the VIP fan club members who we put on the guest list enjoyed their much deserved all-access status & meeting the band in weird fluorescent rooms after the show. Thanks for all the gifts and memorabilia you brought us, that ruled. Got a few days off now before the US tour starts in Buffalo on Monday. Excited to make our way back to places we haven't played in ages and perform FANTASIES for the first time! See you out there...

p.s. We've had a lot of people asking about the music we play in the venue before the show... We put a lot of thought into our pre-show playlist & it's awesome that you noticed. As requested, here it is!

Hey everyone,

New METRIC Social Networking Community: FrontRow!

Hello! We have been working on a new METRIC social networking community called FRONTROW which we quietly launched a few weeks ago in the Community section on our website. FRONTROW is taking the place of the old METRIC Forum (which will nevertheless remain active) and is a place where you can...

*join and/or sign in with existing online profile credentials from Facebook, Twitter, Google, Yahoo or TypePad
*Quickly post notes, photos, audio clips, videos or links
*Follow what the community is doing
*Follow what METRIC is doing -- including all of their Twitter, YouTube and various blog activity -- all in one place
*Find and friend other METRIC fans

This is all new to us, so your feedback would be very much appreciated. So far FRONTROW has mainly been used by the METRIC form members, but we've been working out some of the kinks and we think it's just about ready for you to give it a try and let us know what you think.

Feel free to ask any questions and we'll answer them as best and as fast as we can. It's THE place where you will receive direct communication from the band, so make it your source for the latest information!
