of Montreal

In the summer of 2009, just before the live recording at Lollapalooza, of Montreal had recently released their impressive album 'Skeletal Lamping.' This record marked a significant point in their career, showcasing their eclectic sound and the theatrical essence that defines their performances. Notably, 'Skeletal Lamping' explored themes of identity and sexuality, reflecting the band's creative evolution. During their set at Lollapalooza, lead singer Kevin Barnes delivered a vibrant performance filled with whimsical aesthetics, and fans saw him famously smash his guitar, which added an exhilarating flair to the show. This live moment not only encapsulated the band's dramatic flair but also demonstrated their engagement with the audience, highlighting why of Montreal remains a memorable fixture in the indie pop scene.
