Rating: 3 out of 5 TJF was great, mediocre venue, lots of up selling
by sophocles65 on 4/17/16Irving Plaza - New YorkSimply put both bands (The Joy Formidable & Everything Everything) were great. They performed solid sets of music and displayed high level of showmanship. The meet and greet VIP deal was kind of a waste. Listening to the band do a couple of acoustic sets was fun but the gathering was poorly organized. The 'photo op' was a joke, one group photo with the band and twenty some other people. Irving Plaza is a decent place to see a show but if you want to watch the band from anywhere but the main floor it will cost extra, alot extra. After spending around 60 bucks per ticket it felt kinda lame to be approached with the sell up offers by staff. So the bands: good The venue: meh

by Myas on 4/15/16Paradise Rock Club - BostonGreat show! The Paradise Rock Club is a bit rough around the edges, but the band made up for that over and beyond!

Rating: 5 out of 5 The Joy Formidable - Paradise Rock Club
by JohnC0310 on 4/15/16Paradise Rock Club - BostonThe meet and greet before the show was outstanding. The band was energetic and friendly with the crowd and performed three songs for the acoustic session. The show itself was even better. I was middle front on the floor and the sound was loud as I expected. The band puts on an amazing show. Also - the band performed an acoustic session in the crowd to open the encore. A great night all around coupled with the fact that for the finale Ritzy handed her guitar to a guy in the crowd to finish Whirring all the while Ritzy banging the paddle board for sound effects on the guitar
Rating: 5 out of 5 ANOTHER FANTASTIC SHOW by The Joy Formidable
by NEFBoston on 4/15/16Paradise Rock Club - BostonThe Joy Formidable are absolutely fantastic live, true entertainers who really care about the show, their fans, the music. So, if you have a chance to see TJF live, do it, it will be one of the best shows you ever see. They are incredibly talented musicians. Their catalog has expanded a lot with the new record, Hitch (you have to buy it!) and they played songs from all of their published music except for the Welsh language material. Go see them as often as you can!
Rating: 4 out of 5 The Joy Formidable VIP package
by miked9us on 4/15/16Paradise Rock Club - BostonI did not care for the opening act, Everything Everything. their fans would disagree with me. The Joy Formidable are great. Good songs and great energy presenting them to the fans. I was a little misled about the VIP package. I thought we had a photo with the band individually. It was a group picture with fifty people and the band. Not what I expected. I can hardly see myself. I was told to get there on time or i might miss my chance to get in. I ran into traffic jams and started to freak out. I got there just in time but we waited in line for a half hour. Come ON. But, despite not being able to see well, TJF are great. I'm going to see them at another venue this summer.
Rating: 4 out of 5by Poison723 on 12/30/13Life Is Beautiful Music Festival - Las Vegas With all the big productions of Life Is Beautiful, it was a nice change to go see The Joy Formidable which felt more stripped down and real. They still had fun viscual effects going on the screen behind them. Seeing them live just made me so happy! Even my friends who had not heard too much of them were dancing and having a great time. See them if you can!
Rating: 5 out of 5 The Joy Formidable rocked the house!
by chris2626 on 7/15/13Beachland Ballroom and Tavern - ClevelandThe Joy Formidable may not be a household name, but they put on one heck of a show. With shows like this, they will become a household name in no time. The Beachland Ballroom in Cleveland, Ohio is a small venue, but it was perfect for this group. It's such a fun experience to see a band in a more intimate venue. I know they won't be performing in these small venues for much longer. Ritzy Bryan and company command the stage. I've been to numerous concerts, but they rocked it out about as well as anyone I've seen. Each song was turned into a glorious excuse to absolutely whail on the guitar. It was awesome sounding. The only downside to the concert was the bass was the loudest I've ever heard at a concert. My camera normally handles bass well when filming, but not this concert. It was probably because of the small venue. There were points where it was difficult to hear the Joy Formidable, but for the most part you could. The opener, Nights, seemed good but you couldn't hear them at all because of the bass. Overall it was a fantastic concert. The Joy Formidable is a must-see.
Rating: 5 out of 5 The Joy Unformidable... the most intense live show
by supercubeus on 5/27/13Culture Room - Ft LauderdaleThis was a band I was stoked to go see... They did not disappoint. This band loves to perform, they grab you by the throat and don't let go until the end of the encore. Rhiannon or Ritzy as she's known is the consummate girl next door that you fall in love with who then at the blink of an eye can cast a stare that rips right through you, her gaze generates pure energy in the audience. Rhydian fellow lead vocalist and guitarist shares the spot light and holds his own easily seeming to anchor the duo from taking off from the stage with a grounded intensity that matches Ritzy's energy. These two are the heart and soul of this band with Ritzy being, of course the heart and Rhydian the deep, deep soul. I'm afraid that the remaining members Davies, and James were out of my line of sight, but you don't have a sound and energy like this band without all members giving a 150% to the music and performance. If I were to include them in the analogy I would say that they are the blood that fills in every nook and cranny and gives the breath of life to their sound. I love small venue shows and this was the best i've seen with the only caveat being the acoustics in such a space. The mezzanine level lacks the clarity with the sound bouncing off the angled walls below. Clarity which i would have loved with a voice like Ritzy's. But such is the beautiful rage of The Joy Formidable's sound. GO SEE THIS SHOW!!!
Rating: 5 out of 5 Best live show of 2013
by DDC954 on 5/15/13Culture Room - Ft LauderdaleWas blown away with how awesome The Joy Formidable was live. I would pay to see them every day of the week!
Rating: 5 out of 5 Joy Formidable was awesome in Richmond!
by joshjq on 5/15/13The National - RichmondHands down one of the best live concerts ever. The sound was superb and truly looked glad to be there. The band played for a solid 90 minutes, played their hearts out. They ended with their most popular song from their past album, Ritzy got down off the stage and let the audience strum her guitar, before smashing it on stage and gave away the pieces. Scott gave all is drum sticks to the audience. Best show!
Rating: 5 out of 5 Absolutely Astounding!
by NeuroticInsights on 5/13/13The National - RichmondI can say without hesitation that this was the best show I've ever been to! The Joy Formidable has been one of my favorite bands for a while now and they brought it hard at this show. Even more amazing was the fact that this was the last date on their current tour. Many times I've seen bands near the end of the tour that are just going through the motions and ready to get home, but Ritzy and company gave it their all, literally shaking the building to its foundation. From the opening of "This Ladder is Ours" and "Cholla" to the epic bombastic rendition of "Whirring" to close the encore, I was dancing the entire time. ALSO, performing before TJF, IO Echo, who I'd never heard of before, totally blew me away. This band is definitely on my radar now, and from the looks of things I've seen on the internet after the show, I'm not the only one. These guys were truly fantastic!

Rating: 5 out of 5 The Joy Formidable, to good for your own good!
by TrippYank on 5/7/13State Theatre - St PetersburgThe show started off with an absolutely stellar performance by IO Echo. They were surprisingly good and had excellent energy, you could really tell that they enjoyed what they were doing. What really made it for me when IO Echo played their mic kept squeaking and when the lead from IO Echo couldn't take it anymore she just threw it out and took one of the unused ones that worked better. Then the Joy Formidable performed, and it was astounding they had perfect energy, stage performance and band chemistry. They played pretty much every song that you could have wanted them to play from their set list. Not only did they play the songs that you wanted them to play but they played them so well that it almost ruins the recorded versions. And at the end of the show after having the audience "help" with the finishing solo for Whirring, Ritzy just straight up gave away the guitar she used during that sing. Overall it was the best concert I've ever been to and if you see The Joy Formidable coming to your town you better make an attempt to go, or you are depriving yourself of one of the best shows you may ever see.
