The first ladies of Broken Social Scene — and perennial Miss Indie Rock favorites — Emily Haines and Feist were BFF during their BSS days, but recent years has found them living on different continents, rarely speaking and even more rarely hanging out. We were lucky enough to see their musical reunion at Lolla last year, but can’t say we’ve ever hosted a reunion drinks session for ‘em. Vice did just that, though, bringing along a photog and a fly on the wall to transcribe some of their boozey bonding while the two were coincidentally in London. An exchange on their initial attraction:
LESLIE FEIST: We exchanged numbers because for me it was really, really, really, really, really rare to meet another girl in this insane boy-world-music-thing that I was doing. I remember we were both saying how we’d both never had the chance to play with other girls and we were both like “Yeah! You get it!”EMILY HAINES: I think that 90% of women who are successful in rock’n'roll are usually fucking bitches. And if girls insist on being the only girl in the room, they’re never going to be legitimate musicians. Which is fucking lame because you’ve already cut out half of what’s a good time. More girls equals more fun.
Head over for more. We just needed an excuse to post this pic.

you never need an excuse to post that photo.
Very, very sweet pic. Both these ladies will never grow old and have wrinkles and bags. NEVAH.
they are cooler than cool they are, in the words of andre 3000, ice cold.
that was lame but they are cooler than cool.
My two favorite musical ladies!
I’ll never forget when I saw Feist live and she told me she loved me. It was the best concert moment I’ve ever experienced! Not to mention she was awesome live.
I wonder if Emily gave Leslie some of her coke.
i would consider becoming mormon so that i could marry both of them with god’s blessing.
those girls are kinda full of themselves huh?
>>Very, very sweet pic. Both these ladies will never grow old and have wrinkles and bags. NEVAH.
then I guess you’ve never seen these women in person, photos are slightly deceiving
We saw Emily Haines live in LA a couple months ago and witnessed the most fucking inane and horrifying in between song banter ever busted out on stage. I was embarrassed.
i know what show in la you are referring to.. it was dreadful… her singing made me feel sorry for her as well.
I think this pic of Emily Haines says it all about being “hot”
http://www.chartattack.com/DAMN/2005/06/2810.cfm
both these women are Cat Power wannabes..plain and simple
and they call hilary duff horseface… i keed
… except Cat Power is way less fun to listen to. Glad to see a Sterogum post were no one has a whole lot of bad blood in the comments.
“both these women are Cat Power wannabes..plain and simple”
Except that both Feist and Emily have written far better music than Cat Power ever will.
Yep, I went there.
that’s funny cause the emily quote was probably speaking to cat power.
Emily Haines = massive bitch
sorry it’s true
yeah, emily’s not remotely attractive.

I trust Jon is being sarcastic, as those pictures he links to only prove how hot Emily Haines is. And I can say that having seen her in person as well.
Does anyone know if Emily is married? I remember seeing a Metric show, where I swore she had a wedding ring… just wondering.
Emily Haines IS a bitch, but she’s a female musician constantly surrounded by men. Did you not read the interview?
Feist is untouchable.
i would love to be the meat in that sandwich
BFF’s, right?
“There’s no BITCH in AMBITION,” says Haines.
Love it!
who cares bout broken social scene? THE ARCADE FIRE makes better music than bss and metric. + feist and emily haines is ain’t beautiful looking as the lovely ladies Régine Chassagne and Sarah Neufield, whose is also better than that girl in cat power whatever. broken social scene gang wished they made music as wonderful and breaths taking as THE (REAL MAH’FUCKERS) ARCADE FIRE (who ain’t nothin to fuck with, got that, you musically illiterate pussy). too bad broken social scene would never be as fantastic. neither will metric nor feicest.
“then I guess you’ve never seen these women in person, photos are slightly deceiving”
i stood about 3 feet away from her at a sxsw party last year and wanted to melt… she is gorgeous
Willlllbuuuuurrrrr…!
emily should seek medical advice for that chin problem… it’s horrific.
i disagree with every word that tom spoke a couple of comments up. every freaking word.
i think the best concert i have ever been to, ever, was bss at lollapalooza. better than arcade, by far.
re-emily
i have been around her quite a bit through her friendhip with a mutual friend of mine (when she lived in LA up until last year).
i can tell you several facts i gleaned..
a) she is not a coke head but she like’s a whisky or 3.
b) she is a very pretty girl in real life
c) she is never rude or horrible but has little patience for fools
d) she is super supportive of other girls in bands.
its a shame that you people are so quick to pick holes in everything on here when a guy in a band has an ego its seen as cool/cocky.when a girl has one she is a bithc..yeah right.she is ambitious because she has to work twice as hard as any guy to be taken seriously
john obviously got upset because emily haines didn’t fall in love with him as he gazed at her from the front row at her show.
SEX
I met her, and she was a total bitch. Next time she should remember that her fans are enabling her to live the life that she wants, and she should show some fucking respect instead of carrying around a better-than-thou fucking attitude, or she can go back to waiting tables.
emily is the sexiest singer out
shes so hot
wow u haters really suck.emily and feist are awesome.if u dont like them,then y r u on this page?
fools.
arcade fire is pretty cool but metric and bss are better.
sorrs tho.
black mirror is cool also tho.
emily and feist are gorgeous.
emily does not need medical help.
beaut. =]

I have worked with Emily on numerous occasions. She is inconsistant at best. The extremes in her personality make it impossible to relate to her. One minute sweet, next minute total cunt. I have never met anyone so rude in my life. When she wants to be, she can be sweet. She is one of those classic fake indie artists. She pretends she hates the fame and the scene but does everything to be seen and famous. I get why girls look up to her…they dont have a lot of options and don’t know what she is really like. Honestly, fuck that rude little bitch. This article made me laugh. She is awlays the only girl at the party and likes it that way…then all the attention is on her. She is rude to girls she doesn’t know as opposed to being warm and welcoming, as she implies above.
wow, all i have to say is… no one is perfect. can’t we just allow these two musicians to be human? i realise its not exactly the american way, we should maybe try the canadian way. we REALLY need to break away from the other. take the music for what it is- great – and take them for who they are.

After seeing the pic I’d have to say……. I would:)
Actually, I recently worked a Metric concert and Emily Haines was a raging bitch to the staff. Raging.
Uhhh, Tom, when you so eloquently said “also better than that girl in cat power whatever”
did you mean, Cat Power…the woman? Cause Cat Power isn’t a band. She’s a woman. haha wohhhh boy.
I like Feist. And I like how everyone is arguing about Emily Haines. This is one heck of a conversation.
