But I digress.
For a solid hour and twenty minutes, Toro Y Moi grooved their way through the steamy night. Opening with "New Beat" and finishing with encore number "Still Sound", the band managed to cram in a diverse amount of material from their various albums- including a song from the Freaking Out EP, due in September. The aura was appropriately communal and psychedelic (featuring a squirming, neon petri dish on the stage's backdrop). And if it wasn't for the Godforsaken heat, the crowd would have followed Chaz and co. even further. This begins the second leg of Toro Y Moi's 2011 live circuit which will take the chillwave gang to San Francisco's Outside Lands Festival in August alongside Arcade Fire, Muse, and the Arctic Monkeys before culminating at Moogfest in Asheville, North Carolina.
