Canadian indie-rock band Metric has launched their official video for their single “Black Sheep” which appeared in the 2010 film Scott Pilgrim vs. the World as well as on the film’s soundtrack. The launch of the video coincides with the release of the film on DVD and Blu-Ray on Tuesday, November 9^th.

The high energy video was filmed during Comic-Con in San Diego this past July after a surprise screening of the movie. In the video, Metric frontwoman Emily Haines bounces back and forth between her synthesizer and microphone stand while dazzling the audience with her engaging voice and spirited performance as the rest of the band, James Shaw, Josh Winstead & Joules Scott-Key, rock it out to what is a truly addictive song.

The music video was available for download at iTunes starting on Tuesday, November 9^th but you can view it here right now. The Scott Pilgrim vs. the World soundtrack is available now.

Kisses, the dream pop duo from Los Angeles, announced last week that they will embark on a seven city west coast tour that began Friday night in San Diego, CA. Tonight they play Crepe Place in Santa Cruz, CA. The tour is in support of their debut release The Heart of the Nightlife which will be released in the U.S. on November, 16th. The album has already come out in the UK to glowing reviews.

Kisses is made up of lead singer and songwriter Jesse Kivel and Zinzi Edmundson, keyboards and backing vocals. Together they have created a sound reminiscent of early days of new wave music with a hint of ‘70s disco thrown into the mix while at the same time keeping their sound very current and fresh. Front man Kivel says that he likes to write songs that take people out of their every day lives.

“Great pop music is about escape. Kisses is about entering into another world,” Kivel explained.
