Toro Y Moi (11/2/19)

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.
