About

JOYWAVE IN CONCERT:

Few bands can get self-restrained indie rock fans dancing with reckless abandon quite like Joywave. The New York-based quintet blends sunny indie melodies with disco beats and shimmering synths, and the result is a seriously party-worthy sound that always gets fans moving their feet. In concert frontman Daniel Armbruster delivers his effortlessly cool vocals with plenty of style, and fans can't help but boogie along with him as he shakes to the driving rhythms of tracks like "Destruction". Whether they're performing their breakout hit "Dangerous" or rocking out to the anthemic chorus of "Tongues", Joywave brings plenty of feel-good disco energy to the stage every time they perform.  

BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:

Joywave formed in Rochester, NY in 2010 and made their debut the following year with the single "Ridge". They self-released their first EP Koda Vista in 2012, and in 2013 they topped Billboard's Alternative Songs chart with "Dangerous", a collaboration with Brooklyn-based indietronica producer Big Data. The exposure from that breakout hit led to a flurry of critical attention, and the band made good on all the buzz in 2014 with their second EP How Do You Feel. As the singles "Tongues" and "Somebody New" racked up plays online, the band hit the road for extensive touring that included a performance on Jimmy Kimmel Live and VH1's Big Morning Buzz Live. After touring they returned to the studio, and in 2015 they released their full-length debut album How Do You Feel Now? The album was a critical and commercial success, cracking the Top 40 on both the Alternative and Rock charts and drumming up major excitement for their tour in support of the release.

    Don't miss Joywave

    by Detroit1Rich on 7/4/21

    I caught Joywave as an opening act in Detroit years ago....their energy dominated the night and i have to say....they were better than the headliner of the tour. I'm 54 this year and have been to well over 500 concerts of all types of music. Only so many bands can bring an energy to a show that just takes over the evening and makes it magic and powerful and special to everyone who is present. Joywave is 1 of those bands I've seen Joywave 3 times now and even had tickets to Majestic theatre show in Detroit right as covid ruined the tour....i still have the tickets on my fridge in hopes of their return...and didn't want my money back or to return tickets. I assumed if i just kept the tickets that the money would make it's way to the band to help them out during the covid shut down. Do yourself a favor and try not to miss a live performance with Joywave... I have all their albums on vinyl...even a band signed copy of Possesion Believe the other reviews They are incredible... Talent...Energy..FUN...Great songs... I only wish more new bands were like them

    D. Missal, Joywave, Sir Sly @ Baltimore Soundstage

    by OlderAltFan on 10/21/18Baltimore Soundstage - Baltimore

    First time to venue. General admission, big floor, no seats, VIP table area, adequate bar and lite fare menu. Donna Missal was added to show. She was beautiful and soulful and her voice and lyrics leave you knowing she is genuine. Joywave came on next and have a quirky and engaging stage presence to compliment their amazing songs. Sir Sly wrapped up the show with an energetic and personal show that left me appreciating their music on another level. Great launch of the new Joywave/Sir Sly tour. Would highly recommend seeing any of these artists in concert if you like their songs. Would like to see more shows at this venue.

    Great concert in small location

    by Drewfus64 on 10/21/18Baltimore Soundstage - Baltimore

    Baltimore Sound Stage is really small and intimate. The sound system is not overpowering and you really have a great concert experience. I was about 10 feet from the stage. Both Joywave and Sir Sly gave excellent performances. The crowd was mixed ages and very excited to see the bands

    Concert of the Year

    by Wallwithdoors on 11/29/17The Cambridge Room at House Of Blues - Dallas

    Seriously, the concert of the year. The venue was great, intimate and the volume not painfully loud. Everything about Joywave was perfect. They sounded great, played for over an hour, and everyone danced and sang along. It was a fun evening. Can’t wait to see them again!

    Joywave was great, the openers were also!

    by GinsonSpeich on 11/19/17A and R Music Bar - Columbus

    I didn't know much about Joywave and no knowledge of the opening groups, however I was delightfully impressed with the songwriting and the energy every band brought to the stage. Venue was clean and service was excellent. I would go back again and see any of the 3 groups performing.
