Georgie Fruit is the name of Kevin Barnes' cross-dressing stage persona, similar in many ways to David Bowie's (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Bowie) alter ego (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alter_ego) Ziggy Stardust (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ziggy_Stardust). Georgie Fruit was first mentioned on Of Montreal's 2007 album Hissing Fauna, Are You the Destroyer? during the song "Labyrinthian Pomp".
In several interviews, Barnes has described the role of Georgie Fruit on Hissing Fauna, Are You the Destroyer?:<sup id="cite_ref-Brooklyn_Rock_City_Album_Review_3-0" class="reference">[4] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skeletal_Lamping#cite_note-Brooklyn_Rock_City_Album_Review-3)</sup>
"Barnes himself has described the album as a concept album, 'detailing his transformation from Kevin Barnes into Georgie Fruit.'
...
'The transformation takes place during "The Past Is a Grotesque Animal,' the 12-minute long 'turning point' of the album."
According to Barnes, Georgie Fruit will play a prominent role on Skeletal Lamping. In the same interview with Pitchfork Media, Barnes elaborated on the Georgie Fruit's background and character:
"The character's name is Georgie Fruit, and he's in his late forties, a black man who has been through multiple sex changes. He's been a man and a woman, and then back to a man. He's been to prison a couple of times. In the 70s he was in a band called Arousal, a funk rock band sort of like the Ohio Players. Then he went through a few different phases."
