Review + Photos: The Joy Formidable at the Independent
The Joy Formidable (photo: Patric Carver) The Joy Formidable returned to San Francisco Friday night at the Independent. Tancred was orginaly set to join them as the opening act, but due to a date change Joy Formidable was flying practically solo, with a DJ as their only opener. This was fine, and DJ Omar Perez did a good job of weaving in some more obscure tunes with standards. However, it kind of set the tone for the whole night. Things were good, but they weren’t great. When I think of the Joy Formidable, I think of a vibrance, a charge [...]

Photos: The Joy Formidable gave it all at the Great American Music Hall
The Joy Formidable (photo: Ian Young) Review by Ian Young If there's a band that epitomizes having fun on stage (or in the crowd) it's Welsh rock band The Joy Formidable.

The up-and-coming English band Everything Everything opened with a set that was equally as exciting.

The Joy Formidable: "It’s not just volume, but dynamic and passion."
The Joy Formidable – "Whirring" When Welsh rock trio The Joy Formidable resolved to record the follow-up to last year’s critically praised debut, The Big Roar, the band did not settle on a studio in New York, Los Angeles or their home base of London. Instead, vocalist/guitarist Ritzy Bryan, bassist/boyfriend Rhydian Dafydd and drummer Matt Thomas decamped to a cabin in the woods of Maine. Bryan said her band, which kicks off a 2012 tour with two sold-out shows at The Independent next week, enjoys being in nature, be it the wilderness of New England, or the Arizona desert, which [...]
