Last Wednesday I got to see Of Montreal at one of my favorite Seattle venues, The Showbox at the Market. (Thankfully it wasn’t at one of my least favorite venues, The Showbox SoDo, which totally blows.)
Of Montreal puts on an amazing show. I have a couple of their CDs but I honestly don’t listen to them very often. I much prefer seeing them live. However, now that I’m old, Wednesday nights are really hard for me to stay out and have fun, even if I’m with two of my favorite besties, Goretti and Royal. Even though Of Montreal was great and the energy was really high, Taylor and I bailed early and probably missed some of the funnest numbers. Fortunately for us, Painted Palms was one of the openers and they were so lovely that we didn’t feel like we missed out too much. Listen to them here. (kinda Explosions-in-the-Sky-esque.)
Of Montreal is crazy, which is why I love them. They even gave me some ideas for craft night. (Hello, winged jumpsuits anyone?) Check them out if you haven’t, but keep in mind they’re much more fun in person!
