** ART BRUT **
Named after French painter Jean Debuffet's definition of
outsider art -- art by prisoners, loners, the mentally
ill, and other marginalized people, and made without
thought to imitation or presentation -- South London's Art
Brut make brilliantly simple, cleverly stupid art-punk.
Tagged by NME as part of the "Art Wave" scene that also
includes bands such as Franz Ferdinand and Bloc Party, as
well as other bands from Art Brut's New Cross locale, the
group is comprised of singer (and Top of the Pops fan)
Eddie Argos, guitarists Chris Chinchilla and Ian
Catskilkin, bassist Frederica Feedback, and drummer Mike.
The band alleges that they began writing songs five
minutes after they formed, including their single Formed a
Band, which featured lyrics like "I wanna be the boy/The
man that writes the song/That makes Israel and
Palestine/Get along." Art Brut recorded a demo, Brutlegs,
that attracted the attention of Rough Trade, which signed
the band and then released Formed a Band in spring 2004.
Around the time of the single's release, the band played a
string of dates, including a set at the Rock Against
Racism show; a gig supporting the Libertines' Pete
Doherty's side project Wolfman & Pete; and dates with up-
and-coming bands such as the Fades and Abdoujaparov, the
latest project from Fruitbat of British indie stalwarts
Carter the Unstoppable Sex Machine. Art Brut released
another volume of Brutlegs later that spring and continued
to play select dates throughout the summer and fall. Late
in 2004, the Modern Art single arrived; in spring 2005,
Art Brut were back on tour again and released the Emily
Kane single just before their full-length debut, Bang Bang
Rock & Roll was issued that summer. The album earned a lot
of critical acclaim from both the U.K. and the U.S., and
the band made it across the pond to the States in fall
2005, coinciding with the release of Bang Bang Rock &
Roll's fourth single, Good Weekend. Around that time,
Chinchilla departed the band to be replaced by guitarist
Jasper Future. The revamped Art Brut embarked on a series
of European and U.K. dates in late 2005 and early 2006,
returning to the U.S. in support of the stateside release
of Bang Bang Rock & Roll. The band moved to Mute for their
U.K. label and worked with producer Dan Swift on their
second album, 2007's It's a Bit Complicated.
** METRIC **
Metric is a Canadian New Wave/indie rock band. Originally
formed in 1998 in New York City, they are currently based
in Toronto, Ontario and Oakland, California.
The band consists of vocalist Emily Haines (who also plays
the synthesizer), guitarist James Shaw, bassist Josh
Winstead and drummer Joules Scott-Key. Their first full-
length album, Old World Underground, Where Are You Now?,
was released in 2003 and earned the Juno Award nomination
for Best Alternative Album. Live It Out was released on
October 4, 2005 and was nominated for the 2006 Polaris
Music Prize for the Canadian Album of The Year and once
again the Juno Award nomination for Best Alternative
Album.
Their newest album Grow Up and Blow Away was released on
June 26, 2007 under record label Last Gang Records.
Comprised of songs previously recorded for Rykodisc
Records in the late 1990's but never released due to
internal changes at the company.
Haines and Shaw also perform with Broken Social Scene, and
Haines has been a guest on albums by Stars, KC Accidental,
The Stills, and Jason Collett. Scott-Key and Winstead have
their own side project, Bang Lime, and Haines has released
a solo album and companion EP, Knives Don't Have Your Back
and What Is Free To A Good Home? respectively, under the
name Emily Haines and the Soft Skeleton.
Their songs "Monster Hospital" and "Police and the
Private" have been used on the television show Grey's
Anatomy. "Monster Hospital" has also been used in CSI:
Miami.
