WRISTBAND COLLECTION 1 HOUR PRIOR TO GIG, FIRST-COME-FIRST-SERVED BASIS- ONE PER PERSON.

This is in-store is to celebrate the release of Metronomy's long awaited album 'Nights Out'. Although Metronomy's elliptical, insidious, multi-coloured and richly textured art-pop sounds nothing like Cologne's legendary purveyors of prog-disco, Can offer some clues to the lineage Metronomy belong to. Add early Brian Eno, Sparks, Devo, Talking Heads, Soft Cell, and then scratch your head for more recent examples of abstract music, full of experiment and risk and individuality, that somehow resolves itself into pop that makes you sing and dance and feel like a big kid, and realise that you can't think of any because Metronomy are, in the current pop milieu, an utterly unique proposition.
