Of Montreal show

Posted on Saturday, January 27, 2007 in Family/Friends, Music

Went to see Of Montreal last night with Amritz. The night started out horribly (sp?) as my mini AGAIN broke down.. same deal went into fail safe mode or whatever where it goes to 9mph. I was on the 405 south on my way to Amritz’s apt and the EML light went on and then voila 9mph and i put my 4 ways on but I guess that doesn’t mean much cuz everyone still honked at me all crazy and angry. The tow truck came in record time- 30 minutes and I vented to the poor driver for a bit. Luckily I had 9mph of amazing supercharged boost action to get me off the exit and into a Best Buy parking lot. Amritz picked me up at Best Buy and on to the show. He was also kind enough to drive me 30 miles out of the way back home :)

Some DJs opened that were ok. I just liked reminiscing with the old school jams they were mashing up. The crowd didn’t move much during that act. After that was a band called “Ariel Pink”. They were a waste of time (silence would have been better) and after a half hour I felt my ears may have been bleeding.

Then Of Montreal came on. Neat entrance from under the stage and a big stuffed dinosaur/dragon was on stage, but moved over to make way for Kevin Barnes, lead singer. He’s quite the ‘fashionable’ lad. Changed outfits 3 times. I recognized maybe 5 songs total all night. I didn’t realize they had a new album released 5 days ago, some fan I am huh?
