Live music in Baton Rouge, LA

of Montreal brings a kaleidoscopic indie pop spectacle to Chelsea’s Live with support from Sloppy Jane. Fronted by songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Kevin Barnes, the band has spent almost thirty years reshaping pop with a vivid mix of glam rock, psychedelia, funk, and synth-forward sounds. Emerging from the Elephant 6 scene in the late ’90s, they built a devoted following for inventive songwriting and wildly theatrical performances. Highlights from a prolific run include the breakthrough album Hissing Fauna, Are You the Destroyer?, appearances on The Late Show with David Letterman and Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, and collaborations with Solange, Janelle Monáe, and Jon Brion. On stage they turn shows into immersive bursts of color, costume, and cathartic energy. Their resume spans global festival sets at Coachella, Primavera, Lollapalooza, and Vive Latino, headlining nights at marquee venues, and hundreds of millions of streams. The result is a live experience that is unpredictable and electrifying.
