Of Montreal @ Music Hall of Williamsburg, NYC - pics

can you post the setlist, please?

thank god there are bands like this around

i like that song that's in that outback commercial!!! did they play that??

Of Montrel?
I guess they ran out of A's.

kill your idols - no gimmicks needed

Empty music, hollow art, compensating with costume.

i hope the guitar landed on that dudes head

now matter how hard they try, they will never BE GWAR!

Hipster Parliament-Funkadelic

In the Of Montreal pics, in the 8th one down, is that a costume nose or a real nose on that guy?

seriously i can't fucking stand this bullshit.

"together
let's go together
let's do it together
let's go together
forever
forever"

die.

10:23 - It's real...and it's spectacular.

are they on american apparel's payroll or do they do it for free?

To the bosomy, semi-attractive instrumentalist with the cute mole on her clevage:

Je le frapperais.

horrible sound in the first half or so. and the constant idiocy on stage really got in the way. gee, i even used to like this band.

and, yeah, they should've just played at american apparel two doors down.

"10:23 - It's real...and it's spectacular."

Ha haa, right on. Very impressive piece.

Oh please. They write Great songs and like to have fun on stage and inspire fun in the hearts of those watching. It's better than four guys in jeans playing guitars and looking upset all night. At least they have IMAGINATION and CREATIVITY, know what I mean? I for one prefer a little pomp and ridiculousness in my music.

the music has imagination and creativity; the nonsense on stage is just barnes acting out his frustrated bowie ambitions.

such haters around here. I am a huge fan of The Zombies and that kind of inventive piano based melancholy pop (see: Odessey and Oracle). there seems to be a serious lack of that kind of music kicking around these days which I think is a fucking shame and a half. Hissing Fauna was a revelation and a huge turning point for Kevin Barnes as he was able to tap into that 60's psych/pop sound while simultaneously creating his own individualized sound.

Granted...Of Montreal is not nearly as restrained as The Zombies were/are especially in a live atmosphere but I think it adds to their charm (except I think they should kick the chick piano/synth player out of the band she = lame/boring).

I hope he keeps acting out those ambitions. that show was seriously awesome, makes me sad I missed the show with Love is All

i want to have kevin's babies.

setlist at http://chocolatebobka.blogspot.com/2008/12/we-saw-of-montreal-at-mhow.html in photo. think it might be incomplete. the encore was gronlandic edit and tom petty's american girl. great show.

looks fun. I guess.

Quite possibly the lamest and most forced live act I've ever seen (and please, spare me the "hater" bullshit). To this day I have no idea how anyone could find any redeeming value in this "band" whatsoeveer.

awesome show. so much fun.

If you think anything about of montreal is forced you clearly have no idea about this band.

It was a great show, as usual.

these guys are the korn of the indie world

Great show. Not as good as Roseland but phenomenal nonetheless. The sound in the back of the room was actually way better than anywhere in the front half of the space. I did both. I'm not sure how anyone can legitimately have a problem with their live act. What exactly are you looking for from a band? A total feast of the senses. I will say, the last two albums, standing on their own, would win + lose probably an equal # of fans. Not a huge fan of the "motherfucking headliner bitch you don't even know it" stuff, but even if the lyrics have gotten emptier, the music is still adventurous and unpredictable, and the band is TIGHT. I was somewhat suprised that the Georgie Fruit thing still seems to be ongoing, as I heard in a radio interview these guys did a few weeks ago that Kevin was over that whole thing. Highlight of the show for me was Eros' Entropic Tundra. Anyone going to Bell House tonight?

Meilleur. Commentaire. Jamais!

Mais, "Je LA frapperais."

Who's going to sing karaoke with them at the Bell House tonight? You think they'll doing something special?

Ill be there, I hear kevin usually plays of montreal songs and does some covers.

Damn, they did "American Girl" from Tom Petty last night. There's an mp3 on You Aint No Picasso already, but nothing about that in the write-up here. Did you guys leave early or something?

Empty music, really? I'd ask you to be more specific but for some reason I doubt your ability to say anything intelligent in that respect. Maybe you could post some of your own tunes and help us understand the fundemental compoments of musical composition as they ought to be implored.

it wasn't the first time they played "american girl" on this tour. not very newsworthy, to be honest.

"Quite possibly the lamest and most forced live act I've ever seen (and please, spare me the "hater" bullshit). To this day I have no idea how anyone could find any redeeming value in this "band" whatsoeveer."

I'm not sure what you think constitutes a band if it isn't releasing successful albums and playing shows for their fans...

This "band" has written and performed countless songs, all of which feature not only musical talent, but a lot of imagination that set them apart from all the other music out there right now. Anyway, if given the chance, I'm pretty sure most of us would love to have as much fun on a stage as kevin barnes does. I think you're just pissed that no one wants to paint YOUR naked body bright red.

I think we can all agree that the bottom line is that Jon Brion loves them. Everyone here who questions the musical merrit of this band should probably come forth about their own musical credentials and understanding of sophisticated harmony.
