Of Montreal play the Southern Comfort Stage at 8:45 p.m. Saturday night at The Monolith Music Festival.The brainchild of singer/guitarist Kevin Barnes, Of Montreal was among the second wave of bands to emerge ...

[07-24-2009] Even though I've seen pictures of Kevin Barnes on a white horse and (NSFW) Kevin Barnes with no clothes, and even though I thought I was ready to be a witness to the spectacle that is an of Montreal performance, nothing could have prepared me for seeing this band for the first time. And that's probably a good thing, because by the time the show was over, I was happy to feel like I'...

Some bands were created to sell out massive arenas. Others, like of Montreal, thrive in more intimate settings, where theatrical antics, soul-baring vocals, and frenetic flamboyance are more affective from a few feet away. The sold out Paradise Rock Club provided ample space for Kevin Barnes and his fellow Elephant 6-ers to deliver nothing short of the spectacle fans have learned to expect from...

Quick translation of my Dutch review for my fanzine (www.ikrszine.blogspot.com). So sorry for any spelling or grammar errors, really did this in a hurry without rereading or an edit. But I believe this band is touring England so thought I would just put this one up. Anyway, the review:A celebrated band, an impeccable live reputation, consecutive successful releases, one of the most eye-catching...

This concert will move into one of my top 10 concerts ever.I'll have to compose myself and expand further, later, but here are some of the wonderful things that came to me as I watched them perform:This is the New Psychedlia with visuals by Hanna BarberaKevin Barnes wears his influences on his sleeve - er...cod piece (?).

Kevin Barnes is one of my heroes of music, period. A David Bowie of our generation, with his gender-bending and sexuality-bending style has never been one that I've cared for since his records usually entail some top notch writing and the most catchiest songs I've ever heard While, I tried to hold in my glee while [...] Related posts:Of Montreal - Id Engager MP3 Released I tried thinking of a...

Remember how "Id Engager"'s disco ends on an ominous note? The Skeletal Lamping closer's oddly scripted B-side "Alter Egagle Whoa" follows that escalating path, taking the party down a notch without disturbing your rug shaking.

We'd given fair warning about of Montreal's Skeletal Lamping stage setup, but we weren't prepared for all the stops they pulled out for their show this past Friday at Roseland, NYC. Like, for instance: By now you may have heard that Kevin Barnes sang "St. Exquisite's Confessions" while sitting on and stroking a white horse. Understandably, the place lost it. (We have photos to prove it.) While...

Kevin Barnes from Of Montreal sits atop a white horse at New York's Roseland Ballroom Before Of Montreal's show at Roseland, I confessed to photog extraordinaire Kathryn Yu that I've become a bit more jaded than I was when I first started this site. It's taken four years, but I'm no longer content to see a [...]
