Joywave – Destruction (Video)

Missy — Mon, 18 Jan 2016 17:00:53 +0000

If you follow Joywave on any social media you’ll know that frontman Daniel Armbruster quite the jokester, which is why we aren’t surprised that their latest video for live favorite “Destruction” tells a story packed with humor. Directed by Phil Andelmon – who’s done videos for Taylor Swift, Beyonce, Jay Z, and countless others – “Destruction” tells the story of the entrance of band’s newest member – an MP3 player – and the turmoil that follows.

And if you’ve seen Joywave live this past year, you’d know that the band both opens and closes with “Destruction”, so in proper fashion, the song plays for a second time during the drawn-out credits.

Peep it below and be sure to catch the Rochester band while they tour with Metric this spring, tickets for which can be purchased here.

KOPPS – Thermometer

Tim — Thu, 19 Jun 2014 21:37:04 +0000

Back in February, we had a pretty sexy show at The Westway. Gracing us with their seductive live set was Rochester duo, KOPPS. And the club went crunk. Now they’re back at it with another sultry single produced by Joywave‘s Daniel Armbruster. I can’t get enough.

Thanksgiving Mix

Jason — Wed, 27 Nov 2013 18:17:15 +0000

During the holidays there are lots of people around, lots of cooking, lots of ~~interrogating~~ inquiring questions about your life and a few over-served uncles. For me, it always seems to be easier when you have some nice soothing music in the background. Maybe your family (read wife) doesn’t appreciate football color commentary all day.

Whatever your reason, a good mix is always something to have in your back pocket. I put one together that I think you’ll like. It’s very calm, soothing and has the warm feeling that Thanksgiving gives you (or the shots of Wild Turkey that Uncle Doug insists are a tradition). I’m sure you’ve heard a bunch of these songs before by some of our favorites: MS MR, Kite String Tangle, Postiljonen, Haerts, etc.

I am not reinventing the wheel here, just putting it together in a shiny, user-friendly package. I hope this mix brings you as much serene relaxation as it does me. If that doesn’t work just wait for the tryptophan to kick in and you should be all good.

If Spotify is your preferred delivery method here is the unabridged version. This is just what the doctor ordered, Thanksgiving Goodness.

Big Data – Dangerous (Clementine & The Galaxy Remix)

Max — Thu, 10 Oct 2013 11:26:29 +0000

I had a dream last night that Alan Wilkis (of PRINTS & the production behind Big Data) came to our CMJ show on Tuesday and Joywave closed their set with Dangerous. Would that be so hard? Oh man i’m pumped for next week. Did you press play yet? Whatchu wating for? p.s. this is a perfect example of the power of remixes. Clementine & The Galaxy is now officially on my radar.

TMD & Beautiful Buzzz Present: CMJ 2013 Showcase

Tim — Tue, 24 Sep 2013 16:21:43 +0000

Now I’m REALLY excited! Last month we SOLD OUT The Knitting Factory with Betty Who, Joywave & Future Screens. Well now it’s time to announce our 2013 CMJ Lineup. It seems like every show we’re going bigger. This time is no different. It’s CMJ and we’re not pulling any punches. We’ve got eitght (8) bands lined up for you and I could not be more excited about this lineup. Each band hand picked from the pages of TMD and brought right to the streets of Brooklyn. This show is going to be all time. And to up the ante, we partnered with our West Coast blogger from another mother Beautiful Buzzz to really turn things up.

CLICK HERE FOR TICKETS

Here’s our lineup:

Strange Talk
Little Daylight
Joywave
Bad Suns
ASTR
Night Drive
Story of The Running Wolf
Badboxes

Lineup Breakdown:

Strange Talk We caught the Aussie rockers last year at CMJ and we were blown away by their live set. The energy is amazing and they might sound better live than they do on their albums. To say you’re in for a treat is an understatement. I’m honored and so stoked to have them be a part of our showcase!

We fell in love with Little Daylight at first listen. Based out of Brooklyn they are in the midst of taking over the electro pop world with their soaring synths and sexy vocals. Couldn’t be more excited to catch this set.

Rochester, NY based Joywave has been in our sites for a while now and when we had them play our sold out show two weeks ago, it was very clear that they needed an encore. Their unique brand of electro rock and hip hop is undeniably delicious and impossible not to dance to.

Bad Suns comes to us all the way from Los Angeles and I’m very excited for their live set. They remind me of a throwback to Incubus in only the best of ways. The first notes of their hit ‘Cardiac Arrest’ brought me back to a time and a place. Blending modern pop with late 90’s rock never sounded so god damn good.

What can I say about ASTR. They are as New York as it gets. They lit the internet on fire earlier this year with their haunting smash, ‘Operate’ and the rest is history. They blend hip hop, R&B and electro into a sexy new sound that has got Rihanna watching the throne. Don’t sleep on this.

What up Night Drive?! You may be familiar with the Austin based duo from our label when they remixed Steel Phantoms back in August. Or maybe you’ve copped their insanely good EP that was recently released. Either way, there is no denying their talent. I caught them at Glasslands on Friday, and when I say you’re in for a treat, that’s an understatement.

Story of The Running Wolf: I actually don’t know where to begin when talking about this LA duo. ‘Stratospheric’ is in the running for song of the year. And as for video of the year, it takes it in a land slide. We’ve been trying to get these LA homeboys to play the East Coast for almost a year. FINALLY they make their NYC debut. We could not be more thrilled to have them.

What can I tell you about Pittsburgh’s Badboxes? I can tell you that if you miss this set, you’ve failed. They played our August show and their energy is unmatched. Their debut single JSMN has been on loop for months now and it’s still as good as the first time I heard it. So excited to see these guys again. Trust, you need to be there.

But wait, there’s more. Just when you thought I was finished, I’m gonna punch you in the mouth with some Dart Party. Resident DJ to the stars. To say we’re lucky to have the enigmantic savant behind the ones and twos is to like saying I’m happy we have oxygen. It’s just absolutely CRUCIAL. His infectious sets keep the people moving and he’s building a strong track record for face melting after parties and bring the JAMS all night long. You’ve been warned. (I’m not really going to punch you in the mouth. That was just hyperbole.)

We’ve also got Deli Radio, Dos Equis, BK Booth & Solé Bicycles on board as some super rad sponsors to help really turn this thing out.

Kool Head – Stick Up Kids (Prod. by Joywave)

Max — Mon, 09 Sep 2013 14:13:03 +0000

I love it when our worlds collide like this. We fell in love with Kool Head earlier this summer after their single release show at Nighthawk Cinemas. And today they drop a tremendous new single produced by one of our favorite indie electro artists, Joywave (who just so happens to be playing our show on FRIDAY). I also happen to love the message here which is so easy to forget. There is no forever so get out there and follow yo’ damn dreams. See you mofos on Friday.

TMD Presents: Betty Who w/ Joywave & Future Screens @ The Knitting Factory on Friday 9/13

Tim — Wed, 21 Aug 2013 16:00:13 +0000

It’s on again! After the absolutely kinetic turnout at our August show, TMD is looking to make it two-for-two…and this time we’re raising the stakes!

We can’t think of an indie artist with more buzz right now than Betty Who. The Australian born disciple of the Boston’s Berklee College of Music has carved out time from her busy studio schedule to release a brand new single for us on Friday September 13th. Following synth-pop hits like “You’re in Love” or “High Society” and her melodic masterpiece, “Right Here”, our anticipation for this new single is officially paralyzing. The track is set to premiere later in the month and she will be performing it live for the first time at this show!

And we’re just so stoked on Rochester based synth poppers Joywave right now. Their brand of indie electro pop channels everything amazing about Depeche Mode with strikingly modern sensibilities. After their stunning sold-out Pianos performance back in June we had no choice but to get them on this billing.

And I couldn’t be more excited to add Future Screens to the bill. They come to us all the way from… Brooklyn; bringing their own special brand of “ergonomic synthpop” that will have you reliving the golden days of summer. Can’t wait to catch their live set. Every track they’ve put out is infectious as hell and I’m fairly certain that this dance party will be getting started at 8pm SHARP when they take the stage. So you definitely do not want to be late to this one.

Rounding out the night we’ve got our favorite DJ, Dart Party. If you were at our last show, you know what’s in store. He kept it real friendly in between sets and then absolutely turned out the front room and basically shut The Knitting Factory down. I can’t wait to hear what he’s got up his sleeve this time.

See you on the 13th!!
