Good Kid dances the night away at the Danforth Music Hall
Toronto indie-rock band Good Kid kicked off their concert at the Danforth Music Hall with an explosive, bouncy performance of “No Time to Explain,” sending the crowd into a frenzy. It set the tone for the evening, as an enthralled audience belted out every jangling song and clapped along. The band’s bubbly energy lit up the room as they introduced each track by sharing funny personal vignettes: “This next one’s about trying to break up with someone but being too scared to do it, so you do everything other than tell them that you don’t want to be with them … you change your name, grow out a beard, move to L.A. [and] start wearing plaid,” said guitarist Jacob Tsafatinos before beginning “Tell Me You Know.” The group encouraged fans to “embrace the chaos” of the show, which they did at every turn, at one point showering the band with flowers. Good Kid had a blast all night, capping off the evening with the upbeat and infectious song “Mimi’s Delivery Service.”
