Sensational rock bands Of Montreal and Ruby The Rabbitfoot are bringing their signature sounds to Paradise Rock Club!
Of Montreal (stylized as of Montreal) was formed in Athens (Georgia) in 1996 by Kevin Barnes and its named after a failed romance he had with a woman from Montreal. He recruited Derek Almstead and Bryan Poole and the trio released their debut album (Cherry Peel) in 1997. They released two more albums (The Bird Who Ate the Rabbit's Flower and The Bedside Drama: A Petite Tragedy) after which Bryan left the band. The band’s been through numerous line-up changes over the years and currently consists of Kevin Barnes (singer, multi-instrumentalist, songwriter), Clayton Rychlik (drums, keys, guitar, bass), Jojo Glidewell (keys), Davey Pierce (bass), and Nicolas Dobbratz (keys, percussion, bass, guitar). Over the years, the band’s musical style has evolved significantly but has always been rooted in psychedelic pop. They’ve had a stellar career with 13 studio albums, 1 live album, 7 compilation albums, 9 EPs, and 26 singles. Their latest album (Innocence Reaches) comes out on August 12th 2016. Band members are also involved in various side projects with other bands such as Bright Eyes, Marshmallow Coast, Inkwell, Sondre Lerche, Pillar Point, Born Ruffians, Caribou, Yeasayer, Eleanor Friedberger, Circulatory System, Elf Power and many more.
