Early bird tickets for Singapore are on sale now through Ticketbox for SGD35. The price goes up to SGD40 in the standard advance phase.

The Bangkok gig is locked for Saturday, June 2 at NOMA BKK. Tickets are THB650, now available through Event Pop. The price goes up to THB850 at the door. Local acts Bobkat, Pistols 99 and Death of Heather are scheduled to support.

Inspirited by the remnants of 90’s grunge and the aggressive side of shoegaze, METZ were formed in 2008 by Alex Edkins, Chris Slorach, and Hayden Menzies. The Ottawa trio released a self-titled debut album in 2012 which was shortlisted for 2013 Polaris Music Prize. The record was followed by 2015’s II that once again received a nod from the prestigious Canadian music award.

METZ’s third offering, Strange Peace, was released last September. The band tapped prolific American producer Steve Albini and worked at his Electrical Audio studio in Chicago, where they recorded the album live off the floor to tape. Stream it in full below.


Update (Feb 28): METZ’s show in Manila is presented by Sleeping Boy Collective. Tickets are PHP600 apiece. Reserve yours here.
