Speaking of Franz Ferdinand (+10 for me for highly original blog segue), the oM crew did “Take Me Out” on Saturday night at the Tabernacle in Atlanta. Before Kevin Barnes reverently disco-rocks like it’s 2004, you’ll see one of the many characters that inhabit of Montreal’s stage show wiping the stage clear of confetti with his prop arm thingees. In fact you’ll see that for a good two minutes, so push it to 2:15 to get straight into the Franz cover and stick around for of Monty’s very own highly original segue into Hissing Fauna‘s “Gronlandic Edit.”

Encores are a good time for covers, as the band has shown us this tour via Nirvana and R.E.M. tributes. Also shown this tour: concerts are a good time for horses.

    Like “Teen Spirit,” a very straightforward cover performed well.

    If the most original element, however, is the transition into “Gronlandic Edit,” perhaps a bit more creative license could be taken.

    I was there and I was thoroughly rocked out of my socks. I screamed in pleasure so excessively that I only regained my ability to speak this morning.

    wow. that was cool. I am going to see these guys for the first time in like a week. very excited. question, do audience members dress all hippie when they see this band?

      Yes. Some do so in accordance with the event. Some just dress strange already. I saw plenty of glam-80′s style and plenty of indian feather head pieces. I’d recommend you get your freak on, if you feel so inclined. If not, don’t. Be yourself. Either way, you will be in diverse company.
