Really excited to add "Gold Guns Girls" by Metric to our music player this week! They've been indie-rockin' us steady for the past decade and have definitely established themselves as must-know band that's inspiring a new generation of young up-and-coming bands. I personally have been a fan since first hearing their song "Grow Up" in a Polaroid commercial back in 2000. I spent a good hour on the internet afterwards tracking down the song title and artist because I was (and still am!) totally in love with that song. Metric writes great songs which just get better when Emily Haines' sweet vocals get laid on top. Perfection!
We were super lucky to have Metric stop by the Daytrotter Horseshack in Austin during SXSW and snag some Alternative gear. If you are a fan of Metric, I'm happy to report that they are some of the nicest folks we've ever met. And ladies, FYI: if you want to get the Emily Haines look, she just so happened to pick up one of our Yoko Linen Tanks in vintage black. We were totally digging their basic black wardrobes.
This week we're gonna give one lucky winner a copy of their latest album Fantasies (which features "Gold Guns Girls") as well as something black. You see, we're digging Metric's look and feel, so the winner will snag anything in our online store that comes in black. Plus we're gonna send you some of the sweet Alternative shades that Emily is rocking out in the photo above.
Wanna chance to win?? Just leave a comment on this post by the end of the week! It's that easy. Last day to put your name in the pot is Sunday, April 11th - we'll select one lucky winner on Monday, April 12th.
And if you'd like something a little more mellow than Metric, make sure you check out Emily Haines solo album Knives Don't Have Your Back.
Metric rocks for sure. Also, I could definitely work with picking out any black Alternative item. Definitely.
