of Montreal Performs I Want You Back - Jackson 5 Cover in Nashville
In February 2010, of Montreal delivered a vibrant live performance of the Jackson 5's classic 'I Want You Back' at the Cannery Ballroom in Nashville, bringing an infectious energy that captured the audience. Just prior to this performance, they had released their album 'Skeletal Lamping' in late 2008, which showcased their eclectic sound and marked a significant period of experimentation for the band. This was a time of artistic evolution, where Kevin Barnes, the band's creative force, was pushing the boundaries of their stylistic approach. Interestingly, the time around this performance was known for a more theatrical live show, with costumes and visual art playing a huge role, reflecting their wildly imaginative musical direction. It was an exciting intersection of classic pop and indie flair, highlighted exemplarily in this Nashville set.
