Groove to the Brit-Pop Beat of

The Late Joys

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.

News: SF Pillow Fight Video

Notorious video-blogger Josh Wolf captured the San Francisco Valentine's Day Pillow Fight as a gift to his girlfriend. His score (the music, not how he did with said girlfriend) was "All-Night Pillow Fight!" Thanks, Josh! View the video here. Josh says he's gonna do a mash-up version that is more band-oriented. We'll keep you informed as to his progress (assuming his girlfriend lets him out to do it, that is!).

The Late Joys Seek a New Keyboard Player

Also, we are currently seeking a new keyboard player to join the band. Any help we can get in locating him/her would be greatly appreciated!

Site Tweaks and That CD Up There

Plus, besides the site revamp (did you even notice?) our big news is still at the top of the page: our (now-relatively) new CD!!!

Those T-shirts...

Oh, okay, and we still have a pile of t-shirts that we'd love to get rid of. Maybe we'll branch out into a line of pillow cases next.

Book The Late Joys for
Your Next Party

That's right, book The Late Joys to play your event. Just zing us an e-mail (see how to contact us below) with something like "Hi, Late Joys, please play our party" in the subject line (to distinguish you from the mountains of SPAM that infiltrate our in-box) and we'll see what we can do!

Besides our own songs, we have a list of covers you might know and love, which we currently keep in our song stable -- and we're happy to take requests, drop us a line with your fave!
