Of Montreal - Suffer for Fashion Live at the State Theatre
In July 2006, when of Montreal performed 'Suffer for Fashion' at the State Theatre in Falls Church, they were riding high on the wave of their album 'Hissing Fauna, Are You the Destroyer?' which was released shortly after this concert. Just a month later, in February 2007, the album would drop, marking a pivotal moment in their career as it pushed them into the spotlight with its eclectic sound and raw emotional depth. This live recording captures the band's vibrant energy and innovative performance style, showcasing their ability to blend genres seamlessly. Interestingly, the album features a mix of danceable tracks and introspective lyrics, reflecting lead singer Kevin Barnes' exploration of identity and self-acceptance, which resonates deeply with fans. This concert is a snapshot of the band's evolving artistry at a key moment of their trajectory.
