Of Montreal played Crawdaddy in Dublin last night. It was a good gig, in a packed venue full of happy fans singing along (especially the bunch from Waterford!); the Nokia branding didn’t really suit though, and the sound could have done with a bit more volume, but hey.

Still, they played a blazing version of ‘The Past is a Grotesque Animal’, worth it for that alone:

Of Montreal - The Past is a Grotesque Animal

It was only when I saw them live that I realised how much of a Bowie thing they have, making these live covers pretty apt:

Of Montreal - Moonage Daydream (live)

Of Montreal - Suffragette City (live)

(They went for a Kinks cover for the encore this time)

Mind you, I should have read Pitchfork before I went, then I’d have realised that they have a new EP out and bought that instead of 2005’s “Sunlandic Twins” album. :( ah well, time to fork out for the MP3s!
