Metronomy’s Gabriel Quits Band

Posted 28th Apr 2009 in News | 0 comments
Metronomy have revealed that keyboard player and bassist Gabriel Stebbing has quit the band.

The trio issued a statement through frontman Joseph Mount, who explained Gabriel left to concentrate on his new band Your Twenties. Mount said: "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."

Mount went on to confirm that Metronomy would continue: "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."
