Call me old school, but I prefer Imperial to Metric.

I don't know why some of you are so against this music. It's nice to have something different and I've never heard of this band nor listen to Indie music but they sound pretty chill. Sorry, no Biebs tonight

All kidding aside, Metric and Tokyo Police Club are awesome bands.

I'm only joking. I couldn't care less what music they play. No music is ever going to satisfy everyone. Personally Id rather see someone I listen to but sadly they are all dead.

Wow surprised by the hate in this thread, Metric & Tokyo Police Club are both established Canadian bands, yes their more x92 than CJay but their far from nerdy basement music.

I've never heard of them, but I thought that live video was great. And then I turned the volume on, and it was even better. Always great to see bands doing a guitar solo....don't hear those much often anymore.

Nice to see the Flames using somebody a little more fresh than the typical middle-aged rockers or country musicians one would expect at this type of event.

Metric and Tokyo Police, what has the world of music come too. How about Gordie Johnson or someone.

Pleasantly surprised. Metric is a solid band, and a lot more 'hip' than what I was expecting to hear/see today.

Well done, Calgary.

I was really hoping it would be good. Big disappointment, I'm going back to my Radiohead now.

Glad to see it's not 54-40. Or the Hip. Or BTO. Based on most events like this (cough cough CFL) you'd think that Canada hasn't produced any new music since 1990. Say what you will about the bands, it's nice to see a change from the status quo.

Sweet, two pretty decent bands. Too bad I'll be waiting in the super long bathroom lines!

This has always been one of my favorite Metric tunes.

Plus, Emily Haines looks smokin' in that dress.

puckluck's just upset that Eminem couldn't compose another song about slapping his wife/ex-wife/wife around in time for the event.

I was really surprised to see Tokyo Police Club lined up as a performer, their older stuff wasn't great but I enjoy their newest album. If anyone is interested, you should check out the song "Bambi".

Nice to see the organizers diversifying the Canadian content and going a little off the beaten track.

Edit: Thanks to Rhettzky for the link to the song.
