Of Montreal's Theatrics Seemed Theatrical

Ditto what the Stranger said, unfortunately - This show did kinda suck. The crowd seemed really excited about The Blow, but they came out and delivered what was more of a staged representation of a high-energy show (complete with self-referential commentary: "This is the part where I do such and such!" Such and such occurs.) than an actual high-energy show. And when we say "they" we actually mean "she." The Blow is supposed to be a twosome: she kind of sing-shouting and looking all cute; he doing the beats. The people we watched the show with (hey guys, email) spoke highly of the CD and were severely disappointed by the deejay's no-show. Can't make it all the way up from PDX to open for of Montreal, dude? Of Montreal wasn't all that, it turns out, anyway. We left halfway through, so maybe it picked up after Seattlest and some of the other dead weight cleared out, but we doubt it.
