This Friday, Welsh trio The Joy Formidable will be playing Webster Hall on Friday, April 29th in their last U.S. show before heading overseas to support the Manic Street Preachers. But tomorrow is about the surge and success of this band, a Welsh, uptempo version of My Bloody Valentine, who will perform songs from this year’s The Big Roar.

Creating their own brand of head-nodding mood music, The Joy Formidable continue to draw large crowds–who know every word to every song–for their hour-long sets.

The band has earned rave reviews from NME, The Guardian, the London Times, Spin and Pitchfork, heavy rotation on Sirius XM’s indie rock channel, Sirius XMU, and can count some female rock royalty as fans; Garbage’s Shirley Manson and Courtney Love. I’m excited about their show tomorrow evening, not simply because I believe the band are talented as heck, they are. They also have the support of a band that is gaining a large amount of traction through video play (who knew?) for their debut album Arrows, The Lonely Forest.

After The Joy Formidable take off, The Lonely Forest will continue to tour throughtout the U.S. through the middle and end of May, including supporting Death Cab for Cutie on select dates.

General admission tickets for tomorrow’s show are still available. It is ages 18 and over, and the show kicks off around 7:30 PM. You should be able to purchase tickets at the door, if you feel so inclined.

Will I see you there?
