METZ - 9/21/12

Following a blistering show at Pop Montreal 2012 opening for Hot Snakes (where Hot Snakes bassist Gar Wood borrowed their bass to play a cover of Drive Like Jehu's "Bullet Train to Vegas"), longtime Hooked on Sonics favourites METZ paid their first visit to the CJLO studios to record two songs from their amazing 2012 self-titled full length (that has since spent numerous weeks on top of the CJLO Top 30), and a song from a bonus 7" released with the album.  Coincidentally, this was our new Production Director Damaris Baker's first session for CJLO and she absolutely knocked it out of the park.  You can also stream an interview with METZ drummer Hayden Menzies along with the full session below.

After seeing them live numerous times, being a huge fan of their three previous 7"s and a recent Record Store Day 7" that featured a Sparklehorse cover, this was a huge treat for me and they most definitely did not disappoint.  They also introduced us to the wonderful world of Fruit Ninja (see pic below).

Sensei says thanks.
