Of Montreal - You Do Mutilate? Live Performance at Koko London

Date: November 30, 2009

Before their electrifying performance in London in 2009, of Montreal had released their album 'Skeletal Lamping' just the previous year. This album showcased their signature blend of psychedelic pop and intricate storytelling, pushing boundaries in both sound and concept. During this period, lead artist Kevin Barnes was delving deeper into themes of identity and relationships, which resonated vividly throughout their live shows. Notably, the concert at Koko was filled with theatrical flair—a trademark of Barnes' style that captivated audiences. It's interesting to note that in this recording, the band engaged with fans in a lively way, even sharing unconventional practices like handing out ham, reflecting their unique approach to live performances. This era marked a turning point, as the band was firmly established in the indie scene, continually evolving their sound and live experience.
