Only False Priest songs and like 3 from Hissing Fauna... huge stalls mid-show for pre-recorded video. Janelle supposedly refused to perform with them. Projections including pictures of Katrina or Haiti or something? 1/4 of the audience leaving. A focus on giant, mostly shitty (with a few cool exceptions) costumes/effects.
The vibe was also just off... really joyless, dark feel. This is a band that's past it's expiration date trying to make "art" instead of letting people have fun.
Also there was a major shitty Lady Gaga vibe with 6 million different kinds of full-body face-covering suits doing bad Bad Romance type moves onstage.
Everyone seemingly rushed the door when they were finished doing a gross Michael Jackson medley/grave-rolling session.
Obvious split between au courant, predominantly black Janelle fans and a really bleh crowd turnout for of Montreal.
Difficult to describe what made it so terrible, but something about it just made me (and, it seems, a lot of people) want to die.
