Metronomy

[Gingerpops]

Saw them last night in Manchester. Not for the first time by any means but probably the most I've enjoyed them. They've beefed up the sound with an extra guy playing synth and there were a lot of tunes that segued really well from one to another in the first half of the show. Unless something comes from left field when the final line up is released they nailed themselves on as my Sunday night. Can imagine that being a proper party atmosphere and excellent way to sign off the festival.

Good to hear. I'm seeing them tomorrow in London, but that means I'll probably end up seeing something else on the Sunday night if there's a clash.

Shame there's not more Nights Out on that set list really, I bloody love that record.

My (likely) worst clash is going to be Justice and Metronomy, gutted.

Same. Changing my mind on a daily basis

That setlist isn't as bad as I thought it would be, but I don't think it's all that either.

Moved from the "definitely not" to the "probably not" category.

It was really different turn for them which was great, but don't personally think it's the best gig I've been too ...... but already decided that I'm watching them at Glastonbury as do love this band

 

got it the set list too

As long as they play that catchy electro half arsed singing one. That's the best one 

[Bonaneas]

No 'month of sundays'. ? 

[ThomZorke]

Hoped for more "Nights Out" since the new album was described as a spiritual successor to that.

Metronomy seem to be in a weird spot: I don't think they gained any fans with the last album which may be due to the weird (= non-existent) marketing of it. They gained momentum with The English Riviera and Love Letters but seem to have lost it all. Not sure if that's because of my vanishing interest in them or if there's something to what I said.

I wouldn't hasitate to chose Justice over Metronomy in case they clash.

Pretty confident I'll see Justice instead (if that's happening) but it'll be sore missing Joe and pals. Especially so if they're mining the new album so heavily and also potentially offering On Dancefloors.

Saw you get it, you lucky sod, we were so sure we'd get one as there were 5 but 3 of them were given to people on the balcony

fantastic show regardless, felt like a proper party and all the songs fflowed so well

[Homer]

Quite like - enjoyed when I saw them supporting Blur in Hyde Park.

 

Tried the new album the other day though and found it borderline painful to get through!

Genius!

Pretty happy having Metronomy or Justice as my Sunday headliner especially with Phoenix/Moderat on before somewhere - will be a very fun end

+ following on from Dental, 'On Dancefloors' needs to stay in Metronomy's set - banger

Where do you recommend starting with justice? I remember a couple of remix hits they had awhile back 

[FloorFiller]

Looks like I'll be seeing them at Primavera due to them being the best option in a rare gap in my schedule so guess it's take #37 in my attempt at getting in to Metronomy!

Are you planning on heading to the SEC after (Sunday night in the Temple is always where it's at). If so, then it has to be Justice for the quick dash in.

Their debut [cross] is the one if you seek out a single studio album. If you enjoy it, dig into the latest one [Woman] and then dabble with the live records.

I dunno how it fits really cos its that cold and dark its practically post-punk, and they made and established their name with pop ditties off Riviera and Love Letters, but god damn is it a good track.

On Dancefloors is a weird inclusion from Nights Out, but I love it so it can stay.

Seeing them on Friday, and I've already made up my mind to see Justice over them so I'm kind of hoping they will just be ok so I won't change my mind again!

I am, and also I want to be in the mood to party so i'm 90% going to be there at Justice dancing away!

See you there!

[shoptildrop]

I was a wee upset they missed off "You could easily have me" off the 1st album which is a banger of a track!!! 

[Barneym]

Also off to see them tomorrow but am really not sold on the last album. As we are doing set lists thought I'd add this in
