Joywave (w/ Dizzy & Elliott Lee)

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.

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.
