I've seen Of Montreal before. I remember few of the details except catching a banana peel in my mouth smothered in Kevin Barnes' sweat and saliva- a shining moment in the history of attending shows. Unfortunately, there were no banana peels this time. No mock hangings, either. But there were many other odd of Montrealisms- pigs, gas masks, christmas, and wonderfully inexplicable phenomena. It's great that a band over a decade old can continue rejuvenate itself and its audience. While some bands shy away from their age, Of Montreal celebrates it; they are sure to carefully fold material into their live shows from the earliest of their albums.
I wrote about Janelle Monae before and my opinions hold, though she's morphed her live show a bit. These days, it's great to see the re-emergence of not only the songwriter, but of the singer.
It's official now: Georgia Fruit has officially arrived. Welcome!
Stay tuned for my interview with Of Montreal!
I managed to eek out these pictures despite being harassed by the venue staff.
