Of Montreal

I can guarantee one thing: Sasquatch will not pull a Langerado.
A handful of big names overlap with Bonnaroo, but that’s not a bad thing considering how far apart they are from each other: Sasquatch is in Washington state and Bonnaroo (lineup) is in Tennessee. Both still have more artists to add, but already it seems [...]

The king of summer festivals is back on the beautiful 700-acre Manchester farm in June (11th-14th), and the announcement of (some of) the performers came this morning.
The lineup is packed full of big names and great accompanying artists. Metallica and Kanye are gone this year (YES!), and Phish is bringing back Bonnaroo as a jam [...]

A snippet of an Of Montreal live show really doesn’t do them justice, but all that wishing and hoping you’ve been doing about them coming to a town near you is either over as they’ve added a whoollee bunch of tour dates around the globe in support of Skeletal Lamping, or you can shrug it [...]

Of course Of Montreal don’t go all out for a one song television performance, but we do get a couple crazy props for the occasion: a curtained litter that Kevin Barnes pops out from and multi-colored oversized paper mâché pieces manned by a five-person crew that come together like Voltron to create a giant piñata.

Their upcoming side project, Blikk Fang, is planing to head into the studio in early 2009. The two met while touring together in 2005 and 2007.
According to [...]

HEARTFAST, the Japanese label behind the Tunde Adebimpe solo disc we just told you about, now has another big name to add to their résumé.
On November 25 Of Montreal will release a 7″/DVD combo called “Cause We Were Virgins to Your Kisses” that features an alternate version of their M.I.A. “Jimmy” cover and an original [...]

Of Montreal’s Skeletal Lamping comes out tomorrow, and what a better way to satisfy your curiosity than for Kevin Barnes to tell you just about everything about it.
Covered in the interview is the reason behind all the genre-jumping, the musical pressure of having fans and critics, growing up with no friends and instead making lots [...]
