Toronto band, Metric has some additional exciting news to couple with their recent 2009 Polaris Prize nomination. Just over a week ago, after playing their set at the famous Glastonbury Festival in the UK, they had a fateful encounter with mockumentary metal-heads and fellow Glasontbury headliners, Spinal Tap at.... (you can't get more appropriate) the real Stonehenge.

According to lead singer Emily Haines's blog post, Metric was driving back to London when their driver spotted out of the corner of his eye the famous Druid rocks. They pulled over to check them out,

"...only to discover that Stonehenge was....CLOSED!  We were staring at the stones through the fence and halfheartedly watching various generic families  wander toward their cars when Joules [bassist] said the words we will remember forever:  "Um, guys, that's...Spinal Tap!"

Sure enough, all three members of Spinal Tap were checking out the historical sight. By the time Metric made over to them, Harry Shearer was the only one left gazing and they found out that this was the first time the metal trio had ever seen Stonehenge in person.
