Psychedelic Porn Crumpets & Ghost Funk Orchestra
November 16, 2025
Danforth Music Hall, Toronto, ON
Australian band, Psychedelic Porn Crumpets rattled the Danforth Music Hall with a set of unrelenting, high-velocity rock. The band’s performance was a focused torrent of noise, where intricate, layered compositions coalesced into a seamless wall of sound. They delivered the maximum intensity their dedicated following anticipated, even producing the cult-status totem, Rodney the Tortoise. The show validated the band’s reputation for complex, live shredding, fulfilling the palpable anticipation of the packed venue.
The evening commenced with Ghost Funk Orchestra, a psychedelic soul ensemble hailing from New York. They offered a compelling textural counterpoint to the headliner’s chaos. The group’s precise arrangements were a smooth weave of funk rhythms, sophisticated jazz phrasing, and soulful brass lines. GFO established a deep, magnetic groove, setting an artful, measured foundation before PPC’s sonic assault.
