Of Montreal The Past Is A Grotesque Animal, NPR MUSIC LIVE
Watch the full concert here: The Athens, Ga. , rock group Of Montreal has built its reputation on wildly theatrical live performances. Sprung from the twisted imagination of flamboyant frontman Kevin Barnes, the band s shows include elaborate costumes and stage sets, synchronized dancing and massive bursts of psychedelic lighting effects. For Of Montreal s latest album, Paralytic Stalks, Barnes and his bandmates call their tour and stage show hallucinatory and transportive, with more than a dozen projection screens and strange, wandering creatures that look like amoebas. You can watch the spectacle unfold in this concert, recorded live from the 9:30 Club in Washington, D. C., on April 3. Producers: Mito HabeEvans, Robin Hilton Audio Engineer: Kevin Wait Videographers: Becky Lettenberger, Doriane Raiman Production Assistants: Mike Katzif, John Rose Executive Producers: Anya Grundmann, Keith Jenki
