In Photos: Of Montreal @ The Academy, Dublin

Kevin Barnes and co. returned to these shores last weekend, and it was our first time seeing them since 2009's sold-out Button Factory gig. This time they treated an expectant crowd inside Dublin's Academy to songs from recently-released tenth album, False Priest, and more than lived up their reputation for putting on an outrageous pantomime of a show. An entirely face-painted band, lycra outfits, gas masks, skirts and glitter matched the funky psychadelic music to a tee as Barnes pranced from one side of the stage to the other, audience in the palm of his hand.
