Of Montreal Encore Cover of Nirvana's Smells Like Teen Spirit at Camden Koko

Venue: KOKO Location: London, England, United Kingdom Date: October 16, 2008

In October 2008, during their vibrant live performance at KOKO in London, of Montreal was riding high on the wave of their album 'Skeletal Lamping,' released just the previous year. This album marked a bold evolution in their sound, characterized by theatricality and eclectic influences, thoroughly reflected in their electric stage presence. The band was known for their flamboyant style and captivating shows, and this gig was no exception, highlighted by their encore cover of Nirvana's 'Smells Like Teen Spirit,' which added a unique twist to the classic rock anthem. This performance not only showcased their eclectic taste but also demonstrated their ability to blend different genres seamlessly. Given their background in indie pop and experimental music, this kind of genre-bending playful reinterpretation felt right at home in their setlist. Live shows like this helped solidify of Montreal's standing as a standout act during the late 2000s indie scene.
