Field Trip '14 - Badbadnotgood - Fort York (June 8)

The kid is a natural MC and it doesn't detract that he's behind the drum kit. Being a three-piece instrumental melding jazz into modern music and having a helluva fun time doing it there is no front man, so to speak, but that didn't stop the crowd from cheering and clapping along. People ate up the Flying Lotus cover; bringing two members of River Tiber to the stage while the addition of the sax cannot be understated. With concentration and skill beyond their years they pulsed out jams that wound everyone up so that by the end there was a literal mosh pit. It took its time coming as after a five minute warning they cut movements and songs to get to the goods but it was still a build. In the end their lion mascot crowdsurfed over a jubilant audience as they brought it down then ripped it apart over and over (and five minutes over). Do Torontonians realize how fortunate they are to have such a talented new breed of musicians playing their festivals?
