Of Montreal.

The show was phenomenal. It was strikingly distinct. They came out with a lot of props and dancers and costumes and make-up. I have never been to a show where the lead singer was in an underwear and on a back of a horse, a white magnificent horse. I was totally blown away. Though I personally think that in the middle of the show all the performance (they had this kind of theater performance going on) was kind of distracting a little. People were watching what was going on rather than indulge in the music. I must say that it was pretty captivating.

My most favorite part would be when they did the cover of "Smells Like Teen Spirits" the whole hall went crazy anddddd they had a special guest on the guitar whose I'm pretty sure was Andrew VanWyngarden from MGMT! I was like OMFGGGGGGWTF!@#$%^&BBQ. I was upset before since MGMT was playing at Terminal 5 at the same time and the other 2 shows by them at the end of this month are both sold out, but then he showed up at Of Montreal show. Absolutely phenomenal, darling.




The show ended with my favorite song "A Sentence of Sorts in Kongsvinger". It made me happy. I thought they weren't going to play it.

On a side note, when they say "What's up, New York?" or "Hello, New York" or whatever, it made me feel... funny inside. I'm used to "What's up, Bangkok?!" (and usually followed by some typical Thai greetings that the bands had them memorized.) Sometimes I just couldn't believe it that I'm here... in New York City.
