New jazz wunderkind duo DOMi & JD Beck kicked off their first official tour on Monday at Deep Ellum Art Company in drummer JD Beck’s hometown of Dallas, TX. The tour comes in support of the duo’s recently released debut album, Not Tight, the first release on Anderson .Paak‘s Apeshit label.

The duo’s sold-out tour opener was packed with an all-ages crowd—appropriate for the drummer and keyboardist, who are 19 and 22 respectively. Surrounded by a thick jungle of vines and vibrant floral arrangements from the cover of their recent album (which they also used to decorate NPR’s Tiny Desk), the young musicians delivered a set of explosive hip-hop-inspired jazz fusion, showcasing their impeccable musicianship and blazing chops. The onstage decor also included a plastic toilet, which DOMi used as her piano bench.

The setlist consisted mostly of tunes from Not Tight, including the set opener “SMiLE“, the live debut of “BOWLiNG”, and “U DON’T HAVE TO ROB ME”, a rare song with lyrics that the duo debuted during an NPR Tiny Desk concert earlier this year. DOMi and Beck also paid homage to some of their influences with interpretations of Wayne Shorter‘s “Endangered Species” and Weather Report‘s “Havona”. They closed the set with a sequence featuring “MOON”, “SNiFF”, and “NOT TiGHT”.
