Pop music: Of Montreal and Janelle Monáe at the Palladium

When word got out last spring that the Athens, Ga.-based glam collective Of Montreal would be touring with Atlanta’s rising soul goddess Janelle Monáe in September, fans of freaky independent culture jumped for joy. Two sets of indie pop’s most daring time-space continuum travelers, already known for collaborating on psychedelic funk jams, would be pushing each other toward ever greater heights of spectacle, showing clubgoers that you don’t have to be Gaga (or, to cite Kevin Barnes’ stated current influence, P-Funk) to bring a universe alive onstage. Hollywood Palladium, 6215 Hollywood Blvd., L.A. 8:30 p.m. Sat. $38.50. https://www.hollywoodpalladium.org.
