Of Montreal

Here are some photos of a truly fantastic band from US called Of Montreal. I first heard their song Wraith Pinned to the Mist and Other Games in the car on our magical mystical tour to Byron Bay over summer. We (I, much to the frustration of my hostage passengers) must have played the song more times than I have ever heard Thriller or Vogue. Somewhat of an obsession.

So, when they announced their tour in Australia, I got my pals at Drum to hit me up with a photo-pass. Here are the shots from their highly theatrical show at the Manning Bar in March. Sadly, they did not play Wraith, so I went home, put my camera down, pressed play, closed my eyes and danced around the house like nothing mattered in the world.

This girl was incredible. Rigor mortis crow perched on her sailor hat, her silhouette dancing to the obscurity that is Of Montreal. A very artistic crowd indeed.
