Guess some of you are getting old (except for Rhett who we all know has been there for years now).
Out of all of the shows mentioned so far, only two are of any interest to me.

Fleet Foxes, which is sold o ut.

Of Montreal. I might want to see them, but too often the singer sounds like Alvin from the Chipmunks.
Of Montreal have left me bitter both times I've seen them.

Never again…


They're putting more and more of an emphasis on the theatrical aspect of their show and less on actually playing the music. They've been relying more and more on backing tracks and don't sound like a tight live band at all because Kevin spends half his time up there playing dressup.

It's the studio stuff for me from here on out.
Thanks for that review. You just saved me $18. Perhaps I'll look around for another show to see instead, while sitting at home listening to Satanic Panic.
