So I almost forgot about this place...

I did merchandise for Metronomy last Thursday (if you were there. Buy a frickin t-shirt, they were rad, you missed out. Sucked in. Metronomy were good though weren't they? Surprised? Well yeah, a little).

Anyway.

I did it for Popfrenzy having never met nor heard Metronomy or Danimals before...and no, I hadn't met Metronomy after either. Boo.

Danimals started off.

(To interject before I forget: cdwow.com.au cheap cds, good range and sometimes free postage. Rad.)

Reminded me slightly of younger happier Radio Dept. and maybe some Because of Ghosts.

A fair amount turned up for this lot. Good thing too, because that meant I got a view from my corner.

And then, Metronomy. By this point I still had ten of their shirts left... and my view was blocked.

So after a couple of songs I cracked it, stood up and this is what I saw (Well not exactly...couldn't find shots from the night):



Lights? Lights!
And they flash...in unison, out of unison...in succession!

So I'm not usually so impressed by 'special effect' crap like this... I rolled my eyes a fair bit at Kings of Leon with their light show... don't hate, the girl next to me loved it and was showing her love through high pitched dramatisations... hellish. Metronomy pulled it off. It also helped that they had cute british accents and announced that their some of their songs were 'for the ladies'. Ahh, sleazy yet acceptable.

Anyways. To cut this long rant somewhat short. Go listen to Metronomy. If you've just heard 'Heartbreaker' delve further. It'll be a great surprise.
