[INDIE] Rochester’s Joywave are going places. They’ve been on TV. They’ve had Billboard chart action. And the band’s debut full length, How Do You Feel Now? was released this spring on the Disney-owned Hollywood label (also home to Grace Potter). The results are impressive—a guitar band at the base, dressed up with a tech savvy production that’s neither boring nor contrived-seeming. The tunes brim with introspective seriousness, but the soundtrack betrays the narrative with catchy grooves. It sounds like the type of thing that might be hard to replicate in a live setting, but their set at Lollapalooza in 2014 was really well received. See how they do at the Waiting Room on Friday, October 9 and be sure not to miss openers KOPPS, a dance-duo that’ll have the perspiration running down your face before they’re done.
