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.

A Pretty Little One:

The New Late Joys CD Is Here

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.
