Metronomy - 2007 Tour Dates

MetronomyUK Electro-group Metronomy are coming back to the U.S. to play some shows - that includes one for free on August 10th @ South Street Seaport w/ Au Revoir Simone, and another one later that night at Studio B in Brooklyn. I missed them last time around, so I don't know what one of their live shows is like (though you can download some MP3s to sort of find out). Have you seen them live? Good?

Even if not (...as those making dance music are not always known for their live shows...), you have to at least give the guys booking South Street Seaport props for being so experimental & courageous in their booking choices - already this year we've had free shows by Suicide, TheDeathSet, Animal Collective, and Menomena, and upcoming shows include Metronomy, Battles, and Deerhunter.

This week (August 3) at the Seaport is "A Night of Billie Holiday Remixed and Reimagined" by the way. Listen to more Metronomy @ MySpace, and more tour dates below...

Metronomy is playing with Glass Candy at Studio B. Hoe good is Glass Candy?

Metronomy were AMAZING at Union Hall in March and even more amazing at SXSW for Todd P's show. I wish they were playing UH again!
