TWRP

If you haven't experienced a TWRP (Tupper Ware Remix Party) show, you’re missing out on one of the most fun, bizarre, and musically tight experiences in the city. Hailing from our very own Toronto, this masked quartet—Doctor Sung, Lord Phobos, Commander Meouch, and Havve Hogan—has built a massive, dedicated cult following. They masterfully blend 80s-inspired synth-pop, slap-bass-heavy funk, and rock, all wrapped in a sci-fi aesthetic that is as charming as it is technically impressive. Watching them live isn't just about hearing the music; it’s about witnessing four musicians who possess a level of virtuosic chemistry that makes their complex arrangements look effortless.

A Show Like No Other

TWRP shows are theatrical events in the truest sense. While many bands rely on backing tracks or moody lighting, TWRP leans into their lore. Expect elaborate costumes, stage banter that feels like a fever dream from a 1980s Saturday morning cartoon, and a level of audience engagement that is rare in the modern touring circuit. They don't just play to the crowd; they welcome you into their universe.

This particular date at The Danforth Music Hall is special. For the die-hards, the VIP package is a no-brainer. It includes an exclusive pre-show experience titled "The TWRP Show Live: Live!," which brings the chaotic, hilarious energy of their world-famous Twitch livestreams into the real world. You’ll also get a bonus live music set, first dibs on limited-edition merch, and access to the "Museum of TWRP." This curated collection of artifacts—featuring costumes, props, and relics from their storied past—is a deep dive into the band's history that you won't find anywhere else. It’s a rare opportunity to see the "behind-the-scenes" of a band that has spent years meticulously crafting their mysterious, space-faring personas.

The Venue: A Danforth Staple

The Danforth Music Hall is the perfect home for this show. With its legendary acoustics and intimate, multi-tiered layout, it captures the retro-futuristic vibe of TWRP perfectly. Whether you’re down on the floor getting swept up in the funk or up on the balcony taking in the spectacle of the light show, there isn’t a bad spot in the house.

Located right in the heart of Greektown, the venue is perfectly positioned for a night out. Before the doors open at 7:00 PM, take a stroll down Danforth Avenue. This neighbourhood is a culinary treasure trove. If you’re looking for a pre-show meal, you can’t go wrong with the classic souvlaki at Mezes or a quick, delicious bite at one of the many local cafes. The area is bustling, vibrant, and incredibly walkable, making it easy to grab a drink on a patio and soak up the summer evening atmosphere before heading into the venue.

Good to Know

This is a 19+ event, so make sure to have your government-issued ID ready at the door. Because TWRP is a local favourite, these shows tend to sell out quickly. If you’re planning on snagging that VIP package, don't wait—the "Museum of TWRP" experience is limited and designed for the most devoted fans.

Getting to The Danforth Music Hall is a breeze via the TTC. It’s located just steps away from Broadview Station on Line 2 (Bloor-Danforth). If you’re driving, there are several Green P parking lots in the surrounding side streets, but given the popularity of the neighbourhood on a Saturday night, taking the subway is highly recommended to avoid the headache of finding a spot. Doors open at 7:00 PM with the show kicking off at 8:00 PM—arrive early to ensure you don't miss a single second of the intergalactic funk.
