Of Montreal - Live Performance of St. Exquisite's Confessions at Métropolis

Venue: Metropolis Location: Montreal, Quebec, Canada Date: October 29, 2008

In October 2008, Of Montreal was riding high on the success of their album "Skeletal Lamping," which had been released just a year prior, in 2008. This album showcased their eclectic style and bold experimentation, blending genres like pop, rock, and electronic, pushing the boundaries of their sound and identity. The live performance at Métropolis in Montreal captured the band's theatrical energy and vibrant aesthetics, famously characterized by frontman Kevin Barnes' flamboyant stage presence. What's particularly fascinating is how this period marked a significant moment in their evolution; they were carving a distinct niche in the indie music scene, blending personal storytelling with a splash of surrealism that resonated deeply with fans. This concert, especially, reflected their artistic growth and willingness to embrace varied musical influences—something that has become a staple of their work.
