About the most surprising thing about seeing Solange turn up at onstage with of Montreal at the band’s tour opener Monday night was Kevin Barnes’s beard-commitment (although we’ve even seen that before). The younger Knowles cameos on the next oM album, and they’ve been making public appearances together for a minute. Sometimes sexual torture devices are involved. Such was the case at Santos Party House last year when of Solangreal covered “Heat Wave” together. This time it was the Jackson 5′s “I Want You Back,” which we have here courtesy of reader eagle2108. And which was only the second most noteworthy thing to happen at the show.

Nice job, although what you really want to see is YouTube of Susan Sarandon jumping onstage and spanking dudes in pig masks, because that happened.

Take that, Tim Robbins.

As for post-Skeletal stuffs, here’s “Teenage Unicorn Fisting”:

    That would be Caleb’s not-quite-out-of-the-closet cousin, Kevin Followill. Solange, Sarandon…where was Liza? You go girls.

    I Want You Back (with Solange)

  6. Wow, the tempo on I Want You Back was like The Little Train That Couldn’t. That was rough.

    • Well, they had to play it at least one octave lower than the original for Kevin’s voice but it sounded good to me.

      So when are these guys gonna do a tour w/ Scissor Sisters. I was gonna “arena” but they can only do that in the big cities like NYC, LA, Miami, Chi-town, and of course, London. Maybe Tokyo too.

        Hill,

        You are so awesome! Please, please, please let me in to your inner circle of hipster douchebaggery. You know I’m not going to shut up after my reply. If you have to ask who Jackie is, you are clearly not in the know, so sit there and shut up and stew about what a dingleberry you are. Next time you open your dumb mouth, be careful, someone might just ____ it.

        Who’s Jackie? What an _______!

    Yes, JMAC, we would have preferred a more suitable tempo. That’s why so many people are lighting up the message boards wishing that you were the bandleader. Man, that ruined the show for so many and now I blame you because clearly, only you could have saved the day.

    Great comment, Jackie.

    • No, not only me–I’d wager that just about every wedding band playing the local VFW could have done it.

      Great outfits though. The hypothetical VFW wedding band couldn’t have gotten away with wearing that unitard, so that’s something.
