Emily Haines is a Canadian indie rock singer-songwriter. She is the lead singer, keyboardist and songwriter of the band Metric and a member of Broken Social Scene. As a solo artist, she has performed under her own name and under the moniker Emily Haines & The Soft Skeleton. Haines possesses a soprano vocal range.
Born in New Delhi, India and raised in Ontario, Haines grew up as a dual citizen of Canada and the United States, the latter related to her American-born parents. She is the daughter of Canadian poet Paul Haines. Her sister is the Canadian television journalist Avery Haines and her brother is Tim Haines, owner of Bluestreak Records in Peterborough, Ontario, Canada.
After settling in Peterborough at the age of three, she grew up in a house rich with experimental art and musical expression. Paul would often make cassettes of rare and eclectic music for his daughter to listen to and her early influences included Carla Bley, Robert Wyatt, and later PJ Harvey. By her teens, she followed in her parents' footsteps by attending the Etobicoke School of the Arts (ESA) to study drama. There she met Amy Millan and Kevin Drew, with whom she would later collaborate in Broken Social Scene (co-founded by Drew), a musical collective. During their time at ESA, Haines and Millan formed their first band together (around 1990), and she also briefly dated Drew.

http://www.cbc.ca/Q Multiple Juno-winning band, Metric, has led the charge on Canada's indie-rock scene for the past decade. Emily Haines and Jimmy Shaw sit down with Jian in Studio Q to talk about their latest album, "Synthetica", and how their band has managed to redefine what it means to be "indie".
The Rethink Music conference made an excellent debut this April with a series of panels and presentations at the Hynes Convention Center in Boston's Back Bay area. However, the official opening of the event took place with a welcome reception and concert the night before in Cambridge, MA. Headlining this concert was Canadian indie band Metric, or at least James Shaw and Emily Haines of Metric, who delivered a six-song acoustic set in a church on the campus of Harvard University. Since I had my Canon Vixia HV30, I recorded Metric's performance in 24p full HD (desaturated, of course!). The audio is from the camera's built-in mic mix with a second stereo source from an Alesis Protrack recording to my iPhone, both normalized but otherwise unprocessed.

Metric is a Canadian rock band founded in 1998 in Toronto. They have also at various times been based in Montreal, London, New York City and Los Angeles. The band consists of Emily Haines (lead vocals, synthesizers, guitar, tambourine, harmonica, piano), James Shaw (guitar, synthesizers, theremin, backing vocals), Joshua Winstead (bass, synthesizers, backing vocals) and Joules Scott-Key (drums, percussion). The band started in 1998 as a duo formed by Haines and Shaw. Initially, the duo's name was Mainstream. After releasing an EP titled Mainstream EP, they changed the band's name to Metric, after a sound that was programmed by Shaw on his keyboard in 1998. In 2001, Winstead and Scott-Key joined them.

Emily Haines talks to the crowd 2 @ Fillmore Miami on 11/2/15 in Miami Beach, FL
I do get lonely so many nights, spent soaking beans
and listening to my ears; you are what you hear
Dog
Sit up and run
White laced panties and calm it
Your body is warm so is my vomit
Your body is warm, but im not cold
Hard to say
Let it go before it gets away
Hard to move
Standing next to you
He's a good dog, i can do whatever i want to him
Cause it doesn't show, he doesn't know any better
sit
rub
here, dog
