While we were grossly sweltering in the desert, of Montreal enjoyed perfect weather in our neighborhood for a sold-out three-night run at the Music Hall Of Williamsburg. Although it would be more fun to see what Kevin would wear in the desert. These YouTube videos suggest we missed a theatrical (though relatively tame) stage show from KB's toy factory, but instead of peripheral quips about dancing buddhas or horsefeed, these gigs offer something more aurally substantial in the form of two new tunes: "Like A Tourist" (which got its debut a week ago in Chapel Hill) and "Coquet Coquet." They're both in the realm of the psychedelically lined freakout dance stuff Hissing Fauna... and Skeletal Lamping (maybe a little less manically fractured than Lamping at least), with lots of rock in the guitars (live, anyway) and a bona fide guitar hero moment for the Late B.P. Helium on "Like A Tourist."Continue reading of Montreal Road Test New Tunes "Like A Tourist," "Coquet Coquet"...

You know the drill: The last one, Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga, is a year-and-a-half old now, and we've heard all the songs enough times that we know when each little guitar ping will come in. But the band hasn't announced any plans for another album yet, a...
Glamour.com's Dudes & Don'ts is sort of like Vice's Dos and Don'ts except not funny (or original). But this men's fashion photo feature turns weird here, when Of Montreal guitarist Bryan Poole, aka the Late BP Helium, shows up. Turns out he's a "Don't".Here's what Glamour says: "A little scruff is sexy. Looking like a caveman from hea...

Of Montreal have announced the dates of a US tour this spring. After playing dates in California and Hawaii later this month and then heading to Australia and Japan, the band will return to the US for a series of shows, including three nights at New York's Music Hall of Williamsburg.
Photo by Kathryn YuAt this point, Of Montreal is basically Gwar, except glammier and less scary (more sparkles, less fake blood). But the Athens pop-theatre institution still keeps it real with its Elephant 6 people. And when keeping it real means recording a split 7" single for a tiny uber-twee indie label's monthly singles club, they're ready...
The last time I saw this song performed live was at Roseland Ballroom. This take on Skeletal Lamping's "Beware Our Nubile Miscreants" is considerably more stripped, partially because it features Barnes and the Late B.P. Helium on acoustic guitars, mostly because this time Kevin and his brother aren't dressed as centaurs and fife-blowing satyrs....
