Not long ago, I wrote about this great band called Joy Formidable. Label-less but talented, I wondered when they would get their big break. I'm so happy to report that they're on the Another Music= Another Kitchen roster! They'll also be playing Reading and Leeds this weekend, before hitting up London with Ra Ra Riot on Aug 26. It'll be a killer show, natch.
Take a look at JF's video for Austere. I don't know about you, but Ritzy looks like a pixie Alice in Wonderland here.
Tea partaaay!

Joy, Sheer Joy
If you need a little somethin’ somethin’ to gear up for spring, may I suggest The Joy Formidable?
Genuinely in love with what I’m hearing from this noisy pop band from the UK. Sounds like: high school in reverse, kissing in a ferris wheel spinning too fast, but getting off the ride with a big grin and the promise of an ice cream cone. Well, that’s how I would describe these guys. Already on the radar of BBC Radio’s Steve Lamacq, how is it possible that they don’t have a label? Someone sign them already so they can put out a full length album.
