Father John Misty
Metropolis
April 21, 2016
Just over a year after his last headlining Montreal show, Father John Misty, indie-rock’s most dapper frontman, returned to town for a sold-out show at Montreal’s cavernous Metropolis last night.
Still touring behind 2015’s breakthrough I Love You, Honeybear album, Misty (real name Joshua Tillman) split the set evenly between tracks from Honeybear, and 2012’s Fear Fun. Always a consummate showman, Tillman spent the night gyrating and sliding across the stage like a more melancholy James Brown. He didn’t mention Prince’s death just a few hours earlier, but he did pull out a faithful cover of his “favourite love song,” Nine Inch Nails‘ “Closer,” during the encore.
