C'mon Chemicaaaaals!

I apologize in advance for two concert posts in a row. No more until Andrew Bird in early December. I promise.

Monday I got an e-mail saying I'd won two free tickets to the Of Montreal concert in a contest sponsored by The Onion newspaper - for the next night! I didn't even remember entering, but was not about to let an opportunity to see the eccentric indie pop quintet pass me by. Although I haven't heard all their songs, "Heimdalsgate Like a Promethean Curse" is probably in my top five favorite songs of all time.

If you just clicked that last link, these photos will come as no surprise to you:

The Kiss. Rodin ain't got nothing on these two.

I want his boots.

Kevin Barnes, lead singer. Or as Wikipedia aptly puts it, "front figure."

The Great American Music Hall - a phoenix that spread its wings from the ashes of the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake.
