Of Montreal Live Performance of Requiem for OMM2 at 40 Watt Club
On February 4, 2010, Of Montreal captivated the crowd at the 40 Watt Club in Athens, Georgia, performing 'Requiem for O.M.M.2.' This live recording came shortly after the release of their critically acclaimed album 'Skeletal Lamping' in 2008, which showcased a bold departure into eclectic sounds and introspective lyrics. By 2010, the band was still riding high on the success of this album, solidifying their reputation for vibrant live performances and imaginative staging. The band's frontman, Kevin Barnes, is known for his theatrical style and gender-bending aesthetics, which often align with the vivid experiences conveyed in their music. Additionally, the 40 Watt Club holds a special place in Of Montreal's history as a hometown venue that has hosted them consistently throughout their career, further amplifying the significance of this live moment.
