Of Montreal


Monday, November 9
Of Montreal


If you've been paying attention to popular music over the past 15 years, you've heard something or other about Athens, Georgia band Of Montreal. From its early days of quirky indie rock, to the postmodern disco jams that the outfit, led by mad genius Kevin Barnes, is perhaps most loved for, to its recent, comparatively staid, folk-rock output — the band's sound never sits still and never ceases to challenge. One thing is certain, however: few bands put on a better live show than of Montreal. With its 13th studio album, the rad Aureate Gloom, out last March, the group has enough material to keep every show unique. $15, 8pm, Paper Tiger, 2410 N. St. Mary's St., papertigersa.com
