There comes a time in every music fan’s life, when the band or musical artist who they once viewed as hip and innovative, suddenly becomes seen as a nostalgic act. Which might be hard to argue when said band, of Montreal, founded by Kevin Barnes in 1996, is now celebrating the 20th anniversary of one of their most seminal and popular albums, The Sunlandic Twins with an ongoing tour. While it has never been my favorite album, (Satanic Panic in the Attic or Hissing Fauna and Are You The Destroyer both vie for that honor), I’ve rarely missed one of their live shows. There was no way I was going to pass up a chance to enjoy this 2oth anniversary celebration with new and old fans for what turned out to be a sold out show at Radio East on July 16.

For Of Montreal’s sold-out Austin performance at Red River Cultural District stronghold Mohawk on Tuesday, the summer Texas crowd was ready to sweat it out for yet another triumphant performance showing a masterclass in art and both moody and jovial rock and roll. Of Montreal is classified as a member of the multi-regional Elephant 6 musical collective, which hosts the likes of Neutral Milk Hotel, Olivia Tremor Control, and Elf Power. With all the bands in this sector sharing a love for the trippiness of the 1960s, Of Montreal packs countless mannerisms of stage show glory.
