Awesome band - sound needs work in the balcony/mezzanine
by Blou on 5/29/23Fox Theater - Oakland - OaklandThis is our fourth show at the Fox and because we don’t have the money, we are typically on the mezzanine or balcony. In all four instances, the sound has been TERRIBLE in the balcony or mezzanine; the drums are too high, the vocals are too low, the sound in general is VERY muddy. It is such a beautiful venue, and they have great shows, but seriously I am not sure we will go back. I looooooove Metronomy and so does my husband. I know their music well enough to know what song they were playing - he was like do I know this song - I can’t hear what they are singing? They did a great show, but the sound quality killed it. It’s unfortunate that they can’t balance the sound in the entire venue. My husband does sound for an acoustic guitarist, and he is shocked that they haven’t balanced it. So yeah Metronomy was fabulous; the sound was not, thus the loss in star.
