Overview

Remix masters and synchronised dance machines Metronomy have expanded from a 3 piece to 4 since they graced our shores in January, wowing audiences with their candy-pop meets quirky-dance electro for the Sydney Festival.

You may remember late last year their hits Hearbreaker and Thing For Me being a staple at any party or club with off-centre faux-fem vocals over the top of cheesey slap bass bounce. They have a new EP coming out late September entitled Not Made For Love which has new tracks and remixes that we should hear when they are back here for the Parklife festival and a smattering of club shows on the side.

Since the departure of lanky bass man Gabriel Stebbing (who will be missed for his campy charismatic style) the lineup has incorporated more live instrumentation (including live drums) and less loops; a more dynamic ship for the falsetto croon and songs of main man Joseph Mount.

They were really impressive in January and hopefully with the addition of new members and maybe some new dance moves they will be just as much fun. Opening is Danimals, a side project of one of the members of Sydney band Sherlock’s Daughter and Sleater Brockman.
