Tweet I'm a bit Welsh, seriously. I can never remember if I'm an 8th or a 16th Welsh but it's there (though I'm not sure exactly where). Crumbs, sorry, I'm learning right now that trying to post an EP review at 6.18am is not clever. Need coffee. Anyways, I'm up this stupidly early on Saturday to watch Wales v Ireland in the Rugby World Cup. Wales are winning 7-0 in case you were wondering. To celebrate my slight Welshness and their current winning [...]
They put up what has been referred to as a "legendary" performance at Lollapalooza two months ago, but the Joy Formidable made their TV debut last night on the Late Show with David Letterman with "Whirring," the standout from the group's debut The Big Roar , available now. There's a certain frenetic pounce to the song, especially swirling (or whirring, that works too) into it's jolting finish. Watch below, and grab the MP3 from Stereogum .
The Joy Formidable continue their domination of these States with a trademark performance of "Whirring" on Letterman last night. The Joy Formidable - "Whirring"
Este ha sido un año muy grande para The Joy Formidable en todos los aspectos y mas, cuando llegaron a esta otra parte del mundo pero en especial en la del norte. En los ultimos meses han estado presentandose en un monton de shows de la tv nocturna en Estados Unidos y sin miedo a equivocarme, en cada uno han tocado "Whirring", uno podria llegar a pensar que probablemente ya se esten cansando de tocarla debido a que muchas personas creen que es lo unico que resalta de su debut " The Big Roar " pero, parece ser [...]

This band's live act is top notch, watch as all three of them turn it on for their 3 minutes of fame on Late Night TV. We recently saw them perform at MFNW in Portland , they were ace! "Whirring" is from their 2011 release, The Big Roar The Joy Formidable Live at MFNW 2011

Last night, Welsh power trio the Joy Formidable showed up on the Late Show With David Letterman to blast through a seriously kinetic version of their single " Whirring ." Bands don't usually look this excited to play for a national TV audience, but, you know, they probably should. Letterman actually appeared to be into it. Watch the video and grab the song's studio version below. Read More...
The Joy Formiddable are going from strength to strength right now and they continued to grow last night with a visit to David Letterman and the Ed Sullivan Theater. They performed album highlight "Whirring" in a frantic and full frontal manner that you sure don't wanna miss. These guys know how to party so check it out at the top via The Audio Perv .

Frank Yang In discussing Ladytron's latest effort Gravity The Seducer , I mentioned how the Liverpool band had managed to pull off the difficult move of shifting creative course sufficiently to earn a fresh listen from those who figured they knew what to expect without abandoning their signature sound and alienating those who were perfectly happy to get what they were expecting from a new Ladytron record. Whether they'd manage to do the same with regards to their live show would be seen this past Wednesday night, when [...]

The Joy Formidable stopped by CBS's The Late Show with David Letterman last night, October 6th to perform their track "Whirring".

For the little rock band with huge talent that's looking to hit the big time -a la UK's The Joy Formidable - there are a few milestones that need to be met. Writing a critically lauded album, such as the band's debut The Big Roar , is a good start. Releasing an addictive, fuzz-drenched anthem like "Whirring" also certainly helps. And, of course, getting your butt on Late Show with David Letterman to play a killer show arguably makes the biggest impact of all. As of last night, we can check off that last one in epic fashion [...]

The Joy Formidable released a damn good album, The Big Roar , earlier this year, and the band has made it clear that this isn't the final piece of new material you'll hear from the band this year. On October 18th, the group will release The Big More , an EP with exclusive new tracks that include a Fang Island remix of "Cradle", a live version of "Whirring" from the band's sold out Koko show, new track "Anemone" and a cover of the Roy Orbison classic "It's Over", chosen by fans via a poll on the band's [...]

Actually I'm not really sure who rakes leaves anymore. Any leaves that fall on our yard just end up getting mowed. But my sentiment is about the beginning of fall! Of course, fall technically started a couple weeks ago, it really started only a couple of days ago around here, with the cold breezes. This should keep you warm like a nice cardigan!

The band also have recorded a new song, "Endtapes," which will appear as the opening track on the upcoming release The Twilight [...]

Frank Yang If you have a look over the last couple weeks of posts, you may notice that I've been to a number of shows lately; certainly the busiest stretch in some months. So when I say that to get me out of the house for a late Sunday night show on the other side of town would require something pretty dang special, I mean it. Fortunately or unfortunately, I'm not sure which, The Shop at Parts & Labour was hosting just that. I'd have probably gone if it was just Veronica Falls [...]
