Metric chanteuse Emily Haines is gearing up to take her solo show on the road. In January, Haines will support her debut Knives Don't Have Your Back with a few weeks of touring in the U.S. and Canada. She'll be backed by members of her Soft Skeleton band (drummer Scott Minor of Sparklehorse and bassist Paul Dillon). The shows will also feature film projections by director Guy Maddin.

Metric itself is far from dormant. They're on a European and UK tour right now, and plan on getting to work on their next album once they return in November.
