Come Disconnect The Dots
posted by clake at 8:32 AM
I saw Of Montreal at the Englert last night. The opening band was The Minders, whom I would classify off the top of my head as sort of like the Greatful Dead and early Pink Floyd - In a good way. Of Montreal is fun, surreal, dance-rock. The sort of band where the slim lead singer makes his first appearance in a bright green skirt and ruffled, pink blouse, clusters of chunky glitter around his eyes. He would at one point hold a sheathed sword between his legs as though it were his genitals, then dramatically unsheath the weapon. Their lyrics covered a broad continuum between "Let's all get tight and make some fucked up love together" and "It's just the heaviness that comes from knowing you will never die."
A great way to be introduced to the splendid music of this band would be to search for them on Hype Machine, or try to find their appearance on KCRW's Morning Becomes Eclectic.
