In 1999 Joseph Mount of England knew something that most of the rest of us didn't... that electronic music was the way to go. So he left his role as a drummer in various bands, and decided to form Metronomy. They mix in vocal electronic pop with their electronic instrumentals, and remixed artists ranging from the Gorillaz to Lady Gaga. To date they've released three albums of original music, most recently in 2011. Metrnomy incorporates drums, saxophone, keyboard, bass, guitar, and vocals into their songs. The stylish foursome includes Joseph, Oscar Cash, Gbenga Adelekan, and the token female, Anna Prior. They're music will make you dance and think of better days. And if you're ever bored, their music videos are quite sexy and fun as well. During their performances, dancers and lighting are used heavily. They are most known for performing with push lights stuck to their chests. This was inspired by a spur-of-the-moment idea Mount had upon seeing the lights in a shop. Metronomy will be sure to put a little wind under our wings at Coachella 2012, where they will perform on Sunday, April 15th and 22nd.
