Metronomy Metronomy's Gabriel Stebbing (Keyboards, Backing Vocals, Bass Guitar) has left the band to concentrate on his work with Your Twenties (http://www.myspace.com/yourtwenties).

A statement released by Metronomy founding member Joseph Mount reads: "After roughly 3 of years of dedicated service I am sorry to say that Gabriel Stebbing (the good looking one) is slinging his hook and leaving Metronomy.

It's all very amicable and he's assured me he doesn't think he's fleeing a sinking ship. Gabriel wants to work on his own band, Your Twenties.

So, many thanks to Gabriel and good luck to him. As for Metronomy... who knows. But, we will not just simply replace Gabriel... how could we? Expect the upcomming shows to be a different, a different live proposition, maybe more members, maybe fewer, maybe better, maybe worse."


So far as we know the band will still be playing all of their many upcoming live gigs, including Hinterland Festival in Glasgow this weekend.
