Nicky Digital: New York City Party Life in Photos

Paper Magazine Awards Nicky Digital Best Nightlife Photographer Award

MEET & GREET: Emily Haines of Metric

  SHARE THIS:  Share/Bookmark

With Metric‘s new music video out last week and their new album, Fantasies, just a week away, we caught up with front woman, Emily Haines, to chat about the band’s pre-show habits, her favorite gadget and more!


Name: Emily Haines

Age: less

Favorite flavor ice cream: Just put it in a cone and I will find a way to like it.

I’m from: New Delhi, India

But I live in: Toronto + New York City

And work at/doing: acrobatics, songwriting, staying in love, running a record label

My first job was: unpaid servant to the hipster masses

My worst job was: my first job

Right before we perform we: ask each other “Where am I?” and “What fucking day is it?”

I know it’s going to be a good show when: I can hear the crowd chanting our name

While we perform I: remember my life’s purpose

Right after we perform we: are whisked away in a fleet of golden horse drawn carriages. Faster! Faster! Before I turn into a pumpkin!

The weirdest thing that’s ever happened during a show: Spontaneously jumping off the stage and crowd surfing during a live nationally televised outdoor performance of Monster Hospital at the Much Music Video Awards in Toronto. I didn’t know I was going to do it until I did it. Mercifully, the audience caught me with open arms and I floated back to the stage in their capable hands. It was an exhilarating feeling but was such a stupid and risky thing to do. Could have been bad. Very bad. I don’t plan on repeating the stunt at the Grammys.

Shop at: Why, Printemps in Paris of course! 

And read: Great Jones Street by Don Delillo

If I’m at a super fun party I really hope I have: the brains to leave before I get into trouble.

My favorite topic for small talk is: how things would be if they weren’t the way they are.

If I had a million dollars I would: turn it into two million

If I was to be stuck on an island indefinitely I would need: my man

If I could only eat one thing for the rest of my life it would be: Humble pie.

Favorite gadget: my infrared sauna

I am influenced by: American foreign policy, hormones, mood lighting, music from England

You should know that: Metric is touring FANTASIES in the spring and plays NYC at Terminal 5 on June 17.
