Just Who Are The Late Joys, Anyway?

The Late Joys play crackly catchy tunes, music to jangle the nerves and tickle the tendons. These are (mostly) up-tempo, post-punk influenced songs -- infectious, Rickenbacker-laced confections with literate lyrics, catchy melodies and left-leaning political sensibilities. Songs of love and loss go hand in hand with paeans to provocation, all performed joyfully to a great pop beat.

Oh there is more-so-much-more on the official LJ website.

That comment was racist, sexist and pigist. And on behalf of the lipstick lobby, I demand that you disavow that statement, because I'm pretending that it hurt my feelings.

Thanks Pax!! Very groovy comment - if we make it to Austin we'd totally dig playing together.

Cheers!

Why are you never playing at a time when I can see you? Are you avoiding me? Is it because of that poo-flinging incident of 1991?

Happy May Day, you pinko.

xxoo,

yes, here i am.... moved to ny about six months ago and am happy to say i am not teaching to kids of the rich. not yet atleast. but i am still equally despising them as i serve them their drinks and sell my soul cocktailing at a deliciously snotty establishment in midtown. those are my weekends, and my weekdays are full of dancing (i got accepted into the independent study program at alvin ailey) and auditioning.

hope all is well in austin, music, family, weather :) i'm not crazy about the weather here but i guess it's a small price to pay for an overpriced apartment and a bunch of great friends....

cheers!

Loved your poster, thanks for sending the html coding. Sorry I have it disabled on my profile page. It's just that many of my friends send less than joyful pics, etc.

Love your music, too, I'll put one of your songs on my profile page.

cheers and much love,
Lo
