of Montreal

In 2010, Of Montreal was riding high on the success of their album 'False Priest,' which had just been released a year earlier. This album showcased a more polished, funk-infused sound, marking a departure from their earlier lo-fi aesthetic. At the Terminal 5 show on September 18th, 2010, they opened with 'Coquet Coquette,' a lively track that perfectly encapsulated the vibrant energy of this era. Interesting to note, the band's live performances were known for their theatrical flair, often incorporating elaborate visuals and costumes, which made each set feel like a unique experience. Furthermore, lead singer Kevin Barnes often used these opportunities to express his so-called alter-ego, a persona that added depth to their eclectic stage presence. This moment in their career captured a pivotal blend of creativity and charisma, making this live recording one to remember.
