Who Else is Stoked For Toro Y Moi/Nosaj Thing?

I really can't wait to see these dudes at the Holocene on the 15th. Word on the street is their light shows were designed by Fair Enough, the duo that created the awesome lightstage setup for Holy Fuck. Nosaj Thing's visuals are simple but immersive, employing everything from basic shapes and colors to full on 3D spectral whirlwinds.

I don't know how I feel about Toro Y Moi's live setup yet, the drummer seems to be fairly talented but the bassist sounds like he could use some practice (at least in the videos that I saw). Chaz' old Ableton Live plus Microkorg rig was great because everything sounded like the originals with him playing the leads live, but I am still excited to hear his work in a live scenario too. Truth is, it takes a lot of work to transform your personal, sample infused songs into a live show with band, but the concept is growing in popularity, from lofi acts such as Bonobo to hard hitters like the Bloody Beetroots (links demonstrate live setups).
