Of Montreal Live Performance of 'So Begins Our Alabee' at First Avenue

Date: August 9, 2006

On August 9, 2006, Of Montreal performed live at First Avenue in Minneapolis, showcasing their vibrant and eclectic sound. This concert came hot on the heels of their critically acclaimed album, 'Hissing Fauna, Are You the Destroyer?' which was released just a year later in 2007. Interestingly, this recording captures the band during a period of significant evolution; they'd started embracing a more synth-heavy, pop-infused style that blended art rock with elements of funk. They were not only gaining newfound attention but also refining their theatrical live presence, which would become a hallmark of their performances. The energetic atmosphere highlights Kevin Barnes' distinctive stage presence and the band's ability to connect emotionally with their audience, making this performance a memorable milestone in their ever-growing career.
