Of Montreal, led by Kevin Barnes — whose ability to look good and sound great whether in a dress, skirt or wild wig — will be hitting the road with a stop at LA’s Regent Theatre. The band’s newest song, “Peace to All Freaks” is a fun throwback sound to the best in classic pop. The new album, UR Fun comes out in January. Check out Of Montreal’s Facebook page.
