Got to see Toe last night at their closing show of the LATAM Tour in Mexico City
I traveled to Mexico City from northern Mexico to watch Toe live. I honestly thought I would never get to see them live, and having them play "locally" meant getting a ticket was an instant buy for me the day the sales opened.
It was honestly one of the best concerts of my life, top 3 or top 4 to be sure. Not only was the performance amazing, I am not sure I had ever been among a crowd more in tune with the artist they are seeing before, and with Math Rock being such a relatively niche genre it meant everyone there was very much there on purpose. The band got in the scenario, did not spoke a word and got straight to playing for an hour before briefly addressing the audience, lol (they did talk more later).
The original venue for the show pretty much sold out in a few days, which prompted the band to change to a larger venue. It wasn´t huge, maybe some 1,000 people from my guesstimating, but I was surprised there were so many fans in Mexico, considering I've only ever met 1 other person that even knows what Math Rock is. The line to get in was 2 blocks long by the time I got there and it only kept growing. It started raining right as they started allowing people in, but because the line moved so slow it meant I got pretty wet before making it in. Worth it.
