“It’s never too early to get fucked up,” Emily Haines shouted to the masses who crammed into the 9:30 Club last night for Canadian rockers, Metric. With doors opening at 5:30 and a 7:30 headliner, it was indeed early, and yet even with this pre-Pogues timeslot, a fuller crowd than many bands draw at the later shows. DC proved to our indie friends from the north that no matter what time it is, if you play it, they will come. With the rest of her brief conversation with the audience, Haines in her very tight, and very short white skirt took a time out from her hopping, dancing and jamming out on the synth to express her thanks with a sincere, “DC, a place we can rely on.” And with the talking out of the way, they returned to their hyperactive musical state as if to say…let’s get on with the show, eh?
