Little Joy @ Mercury Lounge, NYC - pics & setlist
photos by Zach Stern
Last night saw the NYC debut of Little Joy-the side project between Fabrizio Moretti of The Strokes, Rodrigo Amarante of Los Hermanos, and Binki Shapiro at a sold out show at the Mercury Lounge.Little Joy has a few more NY/NJ shows coming up including one at Maxwell's in Hoboken tonight, Friday November 14th. More pictures and the setlist below...
...
Drawing band support from long-time Strokes compadre Matt Romano (drums) along with guitar power from Michael Ian Cummings and Matthew Borg from opener The Dead Trees, the band had an impressive, complete sound. Perhaps it's testament to the individual experience of each of the band members, but was hard to believe that this band is on it's first live tour-although there were some starts and stops, for the most part the performance was a well-oiled machine, where the music flowed freely and easily from their instruments and mouths.

The Strokes really shit the bed with their second album. Their third album left a lot to be desired. I always felt this was a band that needed to constantly be making albums or be forgotten. Guess what happened?

The Soundtrack of Our Lives was a better band. Go buy "Behind The Music" if you don't already own it.

The music Little Joy plays makes me want to vomit...not for lack of musicality, but for personal reasons and content.
