Bootsmann&Tornado

Yesterday was my lucky day. Although the concert was sold out I won two tickets only a few hours before the gig. Home come? I was listening to egoFM, one of my favourite Munich radio stations, where Metronomy were giving an interview. They had to guest list tickets for the evening and I was so lucky to get through and win them in a raffle. Unbelievable!! Normally I have never luck with such things – but yesterday was my lucky day!!

Metronomy played at the Atomic Cafe. I have never been to this location before and I must say that I really liked it. A small alternative location with a mixed up crowd of people ranging from 18 to 30.

B&T - Atomic Cafe

I know the sound of Metronomy since 2008. It was during my studies in London when I went to a party with one of my best friends Matylda and someone started to play the song Heartbreaker and everybody was dancing and jumping around. This song reminds me of this great time in London and I really like it. Therefore I was curious how their new album The English Riviera, which they released in April 2011, would be.

B&T - Metronomy live on stage in Munich

The sound is great and my  favourite songs on the album are “The Look”, “Loving Arm” and “She wants”. The live performance was really great. Great voices, great drummer, great guitarist. The light bulbs in front of their bodies were surreal.

Now listen yourself, if you do not know them, and tell me what you think? I would say:

Here are the tour dates for 2011:
