OF MONTREAL Live Performance of 'The Party's Crashing Us Now' at Lollapalooza 2009

Date: July 8, 2009

In July 2009, during their vibrant live performance at Lollapalooza, Of Montreal showcased tracks from their album "Skeletal Lamping," which had been released just months earlier in October 2008. This album marked a significant evolution in their sound, incorporating eclectic influences and a more adventurous approach to lyrics and compositions. At this point in their career, lead singer Kevin Barnes was fully immersed in a bold, colorful, and often surreal artistic vision, which resonated deeply in their live sets. The performance felt electric, emphasizing the band's commitment to theatricality, drawing in fans with their energetic presence. It's interesting to note that this was also around the time when they began gaining a broader audience, effectively pushing boundaries in the indie pop genre—who doesn’t love a band that invites you to dance while pondering the complexities of life?
