Of Montreal and Janelle Monáe at Ogden Theatre
More Just Announced
Of Montreal plays borderline-insane psychedelic pop and commandeers live shows that have been known to include a real horse onstage, copious body paint, and lots of writhing around (even some full-frontal nudity). So, yeah, it goes without saying that this is one of the best live shows on the planet right now. In advance of its forthcoming (and eagerly anticipated in these parts) record False Priest, Of Montreal has announced a show Oct. 24 at the Ogden Theatre with sci-fi R&B singer (and recent collaborator with OM’s Kevin Barnes) Janelle Monáe. It's not clear if Monáe will perform a traditional opening set; Barnes recently told Pitchfork that he wants to "marry the two shows together" into some kind of multi-media, thoroughly mind-bending experience. Sounds good to us!
