we're authentic, you can test my talent against your cursive body
Of Montreal is a hybrid of rock-pop and show like no other and, happy to say, still 'my' band. They’re just a little more popular with the kiddies. The sold out 1500 seat Avalon, behind the Green Monster, was a good place for the show, they sounded fantastic and the new songs rocked the house. We were very happy to grab a good side view and dance the night away.
The only thing that sucked was (because it was an all-ages early show) they kicked everyone out after the show for 'gay-night', so I wasn't able to get to Kevin and company. I was ready to pay another $20 and go back in, but the bouncer talked me out of it and we went home. In passing, I said 'hi' to Dottie Alexander and caught the late BP Helium in the lobby to sign two items.
Another surprise was meeting David Barnes , Kevin’s brother, at the merch stand. He was part of the performance portion of the show and I mentioned how cool it must be to be touring with a rock band around the country with the added bonus of sharing the experience with family. His smile said it all. I then shared a story about how close your enemies can be.
The merchandise table was common but I grabbed two record bags (yellow bag or green record bag) and a very creative pink t-shirt , designed by gemini tactics, for my daughter to be the coolest kid in kindergarten.
