Another month, another trip to Detroit for a concert. This time I was seeing Toro Y Moi performing at the Majestic Theatre, which is in the same complex as Magic Stick where I saw Moon Boots. The trip was so structurally similar that we ended up staying at a different Air BnB, but on the same exact street! The only other parallel I’d be able to draw was that they’re both upbeat and danceable shows. However, this Toro Y Moi show was on another level. I’m not just talking the size of the venue, but that Toro Y Moi continues to generate a catalog of music that only gets better. His last official release, Outer Peace, was epic. He also just released a mixtape and a short film just days before this sold out concert. He and his band sounded on point, with a good mix of music from throughout this extensive catalog. I highly recommend checking out the video footage I captured.
Opening for Toro Y Moi is LA based dance artist Channel Tres. I first caught wind of his name on a remix from Toro Y Moi. While I enjoyed what I heard leading up to this show, their performance blew me away. I already knew I liked his house beats backing his vocals, but pairing that with a vibrant stage performance with two amazing dancers - it all really shined. Check it out below.
