KANSAS CITY, Kan. (Aug. 20, 2024) — Kansas Speedway announced today that Bob Moses (Club Set), the Vancouver-bred duo consisting of Tom Howie and Jimmy Vallance, will be performing in the Highline District on Sunday, Sept. 29, as part of NASCAR‘s Rowdy Road concert series. The concert will prelude the NASCAR Cup Series‘ return to the most exciting track on the schedule in the Hollywood Casino 400 presented by ESPN BET at 2 p.m.
“We‘re dedicated to continually leveling up the hype around our events, and having Bob Moses perform in the Highline District certainly accomplishes that,” said Kansas Speedway President Pat Warren. “With the pairing of electrifying music and racing, you won‘t find a better fan experience anywhere else than at Kansas Speedway.”
The electronic duo came to life in the Brooklyn underground scene in 2012. Early single releases on taste-making electronic label Scissor & Thread led to signing with Domino and the late 2015 release of their debut album Days Gone By.
Meshing guitar licks, a moody smolder and a dash of dance-floor ambience with lyrical depth and classic songwriting, the duo created a sound that appeals equally to club goers and rock music fans. Translating their sound seamlessly to the live performance realm, years of nonstop global touring – including appearances at every major festival from Glastonbury and Coachella to Lollapalooza and beyond – cemented the duo‘s live reputation and repeated recognition as Resident Advisor‘s Best Live Act. A standout performance on The Ellen Show, a pair of nominations at both the Junos and the Grammys (and a Grammy win), and a top 15 US Alternative radio hit with “Tearing Me Up,” have further sealed the band‘s burgeoning mainstream success.
Their 2018 album Battle Lines was met with immense praise upon release. The duo found themselves expanding their sonic palette, embracing their most inventive instincts and infusing their lyrics with a more outward-looking perspective, leading to it being named one of Billboard‘s “Best Electronic Albums of 2018.”
In 2020 with the world in quarantine, Bob Moses doubled down by releasing Desire, the continuously mixed “concept album for the club” featuring the hit title-track collaboration with ZHU and their own epic concert film Falling into Focus and its accompanying live album. In 2022 they released their third full-length album The Silence in Between powered by the pulsing lead single “Love Brand New” which topped the Alternative radio charts for weeks in both the US and Canada.
