Giveaway: Little Joy at the Parish Saturday
Strokes drummer Fabrizio Moretti's side project is one of those ventures that doesn't benefit at all from constantly being referred to as a peripheral occurrence. Moretti's Little Joy, with Los Hermanos singer/guitarist Rodrigo Amarante, is the love child of the pair's fast friendship, which came to pass at a Portuguese festival in Lisbon a year ago. The sound is a smooth blend of '60s pop, Jamaican and Hawaiian vibes, and some Shapiro vocals / glockenspiel for good measure. In some ways, it's a perfect union between the Strokes and Los Hermanos, filtering traditional music through an art rock filter to great effect.
They'll be at the Parish this Saturday supported by Dead Trees and True Widow. Austinist is proud to present the show along with 101X's Next Big Thing, Beggars Group and C3. Want to go? Fill out the form below. There will be another chance on Friday if your luck isn't on call today.
