Yoke Lore – the alternative/indie project from musician Adrian Galvin – tore up from the floor up opening for Jack’s Mannequin at The Truman in Kansas City, Missouri on June 17th. What would have otherwise been a quiet Tuesday night was lit up with the energy of this incredible musician as he and his band – expertly comprised of Rafe Bouchard and Michael Vokes – dazzled the audience with dance-worthy titles like “Hallucinate” and “Chin Up.” They slowed down a couple of times, namely for crowd favorite “Beige.”
What really got me was Adrian’s stage presence. The last time I had the opportunity to catch these guys, they played a much smaller venue down the street. The Truman had more space to move around on stage (and off), so we got to enjoy some dance moves and a bevy of lighting changes that we couldn’t before.
Highlights from the magical evening below.
