of Montreal (5/4/11)

I'll admit that this show didn't excite me when I first heard they were coming to town.  But after listening to some Painted Palms (the opener) and seeing some photos from their live show, I knew I at least wanted to go for the photos.

Painted Palms were excellent.  With a mild(er) stage presence, these boys laid down the kind of electro-pop/disco sound that I've just been loving lately.  Their new Canopy EP is out now.  I highly recommend you check it out (below).

Then of course, the circus began when of Montreal took the stage...

Here are some clips... including the raucous ending.

I was entertained for about the first 4-5 songs, but then I almost became a little over-stimulated with all the antics and found myself just pulling away from the show.  I think being under an influence would have really helped - as it seemed like many were.  But there's no doubt that of Montreal really puts on a spectacle.
