Bob Moses in Boston

About Bob Moses

Bob Moses is the electronic music project of Tom Howie and Imad Royal, two producers who've spent the last decade building something that actually sounds like the future instead of chasing it. They started in Brooklyn making house and techno that felt weirdly human for something made on computers, which is kind of their whole thing. Tracks like Change became underground fixtures without needing much radio play. Their albums—Desire, Battle Lines, and Crack the Skies—lean into that sweet spot between dancefloor functionality and actual emotional weight. You can hear them in clubs where people care about the production, or in festivals where electronic music acts get real lineup slots. They're not trying to be transcendent or community-building or any of that. They just make songs that work when you're moving and also when you're sitting at home at 2 AM wondering about something.

Bob Moses shows move methodically, building pressure rather than hitting you fast. Crowds are locked in, not jumping around frantically. The production is clean and precise. They're the kind of set where people actually face the stage and pay attention.

Bob Moses + Boston

Bob Moses played Big Night Live in Boston on April 5, 2022, with a 13-song set that moved between their catalog touchstones and deeper material. "Time and Time Again" and "Back Down" opened the show, and "Hanging On" and "Inner Light" followed. "Tearing Me Up" was the expected highlight, and "Enough to Believe" played twice -- whether intentional or a setlist quirk, it worked. "The Blame" and "Never Ending" carried the late stretch, and "Love Brand New" closed the encore. Boston's Big Night Live is built for acts that blur the line between live band and DJ set, and Bob Moses owns that space.

Live Music in Boston

Boston's electronic music scene has grown quieter than it was a decade ago, but it still supports acts that blend production sophistication with live musicianship. The city's venue landscape—from mid-size rooms like Big Night Live to smaller clubs—favors artists who can operate between DJ sets and band configurations. Bob Moses fits that mold, drawing from the same lineage of thoughtful electronic music that appeals to Boston's indie and alternative crowds.

Boston road trip to see Bob Moses?

Stay in the Back Bay neighborhood—it's walkable, lined with brownstones, and positioned between the best dining and the waterfront. Book a table at No. 9 Park for New American cooking that actually justifies the hype, or hit Oleana in nearby Cambridge if you want something fresher and less fussy. Spend an afternoon at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, a genuinely strange and rewarding art collection housed in a deliberately eccentric mansion. The Prudential Center has decent shopping if that's your thing, and the waterfront is legitimately beautiful for a walk before the show.
