Of Montreal at the Orange Peel

Birds of a feather...do the running man during an Of Montreal show in Asheville? Of Montreal were bouyant, flashy and fantasmagoric in their performance at the Orange Peel. Admittedly, if I had partaken in substance abuse like I am more than confident most of the venue's crowd did, the show would have been more crazy for me. But hey, I still got to watch a blonde-mowhawked indie hipster in a furry white vest come close to elbowing me in the eye the whole time.

Of Montreal drummer James Husband opened the night. Stand-up cello makes everything better for your side project, by the way.

Enjoy!

Off For the Weekend

We weren't sure at first, but my comrades and I are going to ignore the winter weather advisories flooding the area and we're going to see Of Montreal at The Orange Peel. Needless to say, I'm as pumped up as a gas station at Lowe's Motor Speedway to see this show.

Tomorrow, I'll be catching Between the Buried and Me and others in Charlotte. Get ready for some shots from this concert weekend, and pray we don't get stalled by this gnarly weather.

Later!

Of Montreal - Suffer for Fashion

----------Being back in my element has also required me to be in full Everest garb. We're talking single-digit temperatures with negative wind chills. There's not a doubt in my mind I will have to suffer some numb fingers and toes, whether it's for fashion or not. That's why Of Montreal's "Suffer for Fashion" from Hissing Fauna, Are You The Destroyer? is singing loud and true for me today. Of Montreal are finishing their tour with a stop at The Orange Peel, the legendary Asheville club that I have yet to experience. Take one listen to Of Montreal, and you'll know not to miss their show. Stay warm, people!
