Of Montreal In Montreal

A last minute decision led me to the Of Montreal concert tonight. I went alone but ran into two groups of friends there, so my courage for attending a concert alone was mooted out. Obviously, it was great to have someone to talk with, in between the opening band and the actual show.


If you are ever "on the fence" about going to an Of Montreal show, just go for it. Their show was phenomenal. I didn't even get the chance to download buy their newest cd, so I didn't recognize a bunch of the songs and it was still amazing. They don't just perform the songs, they have this whole theatrical show going on at the same time. There's a team of "actors" performing the weirdest shit in the oddest, constantly changing costumes. They also have a giant screen flashingflashing different pictures or animations all the time. It's just so much fun.

The lead singer even does a bunch of costume changes, including running around in a speedo, painting himself red, dressing up as a centaur (someone else is the butt) and coming out in a coffin, which changes into him being naked but covered in whip cream. Such a good show!

The singer sure does have a pretty good body too. Probably because of all the drugs, but still very nice.
