of Montreal & Susan Sarandon / Rolling Stone



video and review via rollingstone.com:

Georgia quintet Of Montreal brought their traveling circus of a show to New York’s Highline Ballroom last night for an over-stimulating sold-out performance, complete with flower power indie-pop anthems and touches of surrealism. But the strangest moment of the night wasn’t when singer Kevin Barnes mounted a crucifix-like S&M rack or when masked dancers walked on their hands across the stage. Of Montreal reached new heights of weird when actress Susan Sarandon came out during “St. Exquisite’s Confessions” and bent a man dressed as a pig over her knee, spanking him with a ruler before wagging her finger at the audience and pushing up her glasses. Sarandon later emerged during “A Sentence of Sorts in Kongsvinger” as she shot streamers from her hands, showering the audience in a rainbow confection before dancing her way back to V.I.P.
