Of Montreal - Indie Rock Karaoke!

Saturday night, New York Magazine (probably one of our most favoritest publications in the universe--I've been reading it since I was 13) hosted an Indie Rock karaoke at one of Brooklyn's newer venues, Studio B. We'd never been there before until Saturday and found ourselves completely charmed with the place. Except for the fact that it's a long, sketchy walk from the L-train, this venue is a real winner. Michael Showalter from Wet, Hot American Summer hosted and was completely hilarious and random. LOVED his fake moustache.

Of Montreal played one set of their own songs, took a break, and then came back (what champs!) to play another set as a back-up karaoke band. We were pleasantly surprised with the dudes who sang "Surrender", "Cut Your Hair", "More Than a Feeling", the chick who totally rocked "Sweet Child of Mine", and of course Michael Showalter's take on "Need You Tonight". We were NOT impressed with the girls who sang "Blister in the Sun". Neither was the rest of the crowd and they let those girls know it! How do you forget the words?!? Paul Rudd of Clueless fame showed up and was mega-cute. I forgot what song he sang, but he rocked it out.

We scored a prime location on comfy seats directly stage right of the band and got some super sweet pics. Check it out for yourself.











This is the chick that kicked ass on "Sweet Child of Mine"

Look at all those guitar pics on the mic stand! Awesome.
