There was palpable excitement eminating from State correspondents last week as Kevin Barnes and friends’ rock ‘n’ roll psychedelic party rolled into town once more. With a stellar live reputation and a penchant for dress-up, we knew it was going to be a gig worthy of photographic evidence. Julie Bienvenu came back from the gig with her visual findings.

Elsewhere Aoife Barry interviews the band and describes the gig as magical, glorious and says it featured:

A pig fellating a bishop, black spandez-clad dancers with sequinned faces, fake fisticuffs, a devilish man with ram’s legs, lashings of glitter (much of which was on my own face), beautiful people with beautiful bodies, amazing artwork and visuals, black angel’s wings, a shaving foam suit, and an unforgettable pair of tiny gold shorts.

We’d love to see how Of Montreal would get on at Oxegen.
