Of Montreal roll call
« on: July 26, 2006, 12:16:00 pm »
Is anyone going to this show Saturday at the State Theatre?
 
 I've missed O.M. every time they've been in town, and think I'd like to catch it.  Not sure I know anyone going...
 
 If anyone's a definite, ideas on set times?

Should be fun, but hope they don't bring that rapper with them...though I think he's opening?
 Grand Buffet?

They're actually a duo. They opened for Magnolia Electric Co. a while back. I didn't care much for their music, but their between song banter was pretty funny.

i'd really like to go but i don't know about this state theatre business. metro-ing there and back seems like too much trouble when coming from wheaton.

That info is on there website. West Falls Church is nearest station, I think they say it's six blocks away, or something to that effect.

I am totally there. Like you, Bags, I've missed them when they've been in town before and am sooo looking forward to seeing them.
 
 What did folks think of last year's Sunlandic Twins? More electronic/dancey than previous releases, but I still dug it. A lot.

worst show I attended in the last year, Grand Buffet and Of Montreal, maybe it was just an off night but Of Montreal sounded awful live, and Grand Buffet were embarrassingly bad

That's discouraging.   :confused:  We'll see how it turns out on Saturday.

Should be a fun time. Looking forward to it. Also missed them every time they've been in town. I think the sunlandic twins is just as good as anything else they've put out.

I agree. It was just a little bit of a shock when I first heard it - not what I was expecting. But it didn't take long to convince me it was great stuff.

I missed them at south by and also locally...Not sure if I'll make it...maybe. Not sure I want to see the opener. Think there will be a big crowd?
 I don't know set times either -- sometimes at State Theatre I feel like I'm waiting forever.

I've seen cabs milling about at that metro stop.
