Of Montreal Live Performance of Iconic Hits at Lollapalooza 2009
In August 2009, Of Montreal performed at Lollapalooza, and by this time, they had just released their album 'Skeletal Lamping' in late 2008. This work marked a significant phase in their career, as it showcased a distinct shift towards a more avant-garde and eclectic sound. The live recording at Grant Park not only encapsulated the band’s energetic presence on stage but also highlighted the growing popularity they were experiencing within the indie music scene. Interestingly, the album’s theme of identity and sexuality resonates strongly with their live performances, adding layers of meaning to their vibrant show. Plus, it was a part of a wave of their increasingly theatrical presentations, making every note feel like an invitation into a colorful, sometimes chaotic world. It's hard not to feel the magic they brought to life during that performance!
