Of Montreal started performing at Beach, a local dive bar. The group used to sell their tapes out of their car at school. The members of Of Montreal met in 1987. The guitarist used to listen to his family's music constantly as a teenager.

Of Montreal signed the record deal, and fully expected that they would last past the first album. The members of the group all quit their other jobs to focus on their music.

The latest release from Of Montreal has taken the band in a completely different direction, with a more refined sound. The band is in the second leg of the accompanying tour for their newest record. Of Montreal plans to take some time off after this next tour, allowing the group members to work on individual projects.

The band has a love affair with Jacksonville so they are sure to stop by and play a show whenever they are touring. TheSeats.com allows fans to stop at one place online and find all the information they need. The site has Of Montreal tickets, the touring schedule, and seating charts for concerts.
