Of Montreal bring their consumate theatricality to the Shepherds Bush Empire this summer. Their songs soar and weave with energy and goodwill, daring anyone who hears them to walk away without a smile on their face. Listening to OF MONTREAL, you might think that singer Kevin Barnes is missing the angst gene. But the longer you listen, the more you start to realize that maybe missing the angst gene is a blessing. It allows Kevin to explore more fully his crazily creative ideas and to make wondrous music, drawing on influences from the Byrds or even the Mamas And The Papas; the group’s songs are all sweet pop ditties, as suitable for campfire-singing as stage performance.

    yup, this show was amazing. thanks to the guys who got photos, balcony was no good for that. and yup, it was hard to hear the lyrics, which is a damn shame with OM - especially if you were with people who don't know them. anyway, were on top form - slightly weird how they don't interact with each other much, are they always playing kind of apart like that? i can give my ears a rest as don't see anything topping this one for a while :)

    I feel as sick as a diseased, cancerous, swine flu-ridden parrot for missing this, even though I had tickets. Stupid work. Any signs they'll be back in the near future?

    My boots got awfully sticky, but I got a setlist and some confetti. I'd consider that an achievement. But either way after that I'm pretty sure that of Montreal releases hyper-potent endorphins which force the individual to release gametes all over the dancefloor.

    It was Bat For Lashes "Daniel," a pretty fantastic cover of it too.

    Did a lot of moving around during the gig and yeah, noticed that the sound wasn't really working, most of the time kevin's vocals were drowned out and at times he was having troubles singing in sync (they don't use monitors, good old fashion canal earphones). Anyway, the music and vibe was still all kinds of epic, here's some photos of the gig i took if you haven't already clicks on the photos bit at the top http://www.flickr.com/photos/crazybobbles/3722398402/
