Brutal. I guess I can accept that Calgary Flame fans don't really know who Metric is. And I acknowledge that it was a poor performance from a band that could have delivered much better. But you have far too much prejudice to what you call 'indie or garage-band's' to deduce a band would lip synch an off performance (Emily definitely decided to pre-record her pitchiness in the comfort of a warm studio ahead of time). Also, the giant heaters beside the guitarist, bassist and drummer were a wonderful ploy to try and fool you as well. Thank goodness your skills of investigative musical criticism has been put to good use on the CalgaryPuck forums to discriminate against bands that represent something that you just simply can't understand.
I said it before, and even though it WAS a poor performance, I'll still say it again - I give major kudos to the programmers for booking bands that represent Canadian music that aren't in the vain of Nickelback influenced bs. Clearly, this is an area of the country that needs this sort of help.
