Of Montreal Live Performance of Cato As A Pun in Sydney

Venue: Manning Bar, University of Sydney Location: Sydney, New South Wales, Australia Date: March 3, 2009

In March 2009, when Of Montreal delivered an electrifying performance of 'Cato As A Pun' at the Manning Bar in Sydney, they were riding high on the success of their critically acclaimed album, 'Skeletal Lamping'. Released in late 2008, this album showcased the band's fearless experimentation with sound and narrative, blending psychedelic pop with intricate storytelling. This period was marked by their distinct flair for theatricality, both in music and live shows, evident in their elaborate visual aesthetics. It’s also interesting to note that frontman Kevin Barnes would often find inspiration through personal experiences and alter egos, which added layers to their performances. This connection to their music and vibrant performance style is a testament to their unique place in the indie music scene.
