Metronomy certainly knew how to get the crowd onside during their return to Manchester.
The band played Manchester Academy on Thursday evening with their tour supporting latest album Small World - released in February. During the show, frontman Joseph Mount cheekily declared: “How nice it is to be back in Manchester and, trust me, I didn’t say that in Liverpool.”
Of course, this was met by the expected cheers. And, as Metronomy’s song The Bay, surprisingly played early in the set, goes: “This isn't Paris, and this isn't London, and it's not Berlin, and it's not Hong Kong, not Tokyo.” This is Manchester, we do things differently here - as Mr Wilson's old adage goes. Clearly, something which rings true for Metronomy.
