Hey kids, Athens dance-pop institution of Montreal are going on tour this Spring! of Montreal shows are a lot of fun in and of themselves, but you know what would make them even more fun? This handy checklist of things you may (or may not) see at the show!

[ ] Kevin Barnes riding a robotic squid.
[ ] CONFETTI.
