You should see the other guys
Here, as promised earlier, is that picture of Metronomy's occasional singer and full-time crackpot Joseph Mount. What you sadly can't see in full is Joe's two identically-dressed bandmates on either side of him, executing perfectly choreographed jerks, swooshes and zings with their guitars and arms.
And y'see that white circle on his chest? That's one of those battery-operated lights people often use to illuminate the cupboard under the stairs. Metronomy, though, build the push-on, push-off lights into their stage show by using them as a kind of visual percussion. In fact, Joe throws a few into the crowd before Metronomy's final tune, imploring people to "find four double-A batteries in the next three-and-a-half minutes" so they can join in - and remarkably, somebody does just that.
Now *that's* dedication. |
