Joywave

Few bands can get self-restrained indie rock fans dancing with reckless abandon quite like Joywave. The New York-based quintet blends sunny indie melodies with disco beats and shimmering synths, and the result is a seriously party-worthy sound that always gets fans moving their feet. In concert frontman Daniel Armbruster delivers his effortlessly cool vocals with plenty of style, and fans can't help but boogie along with him as he shakes to the driving rhythms of tracks like \"Destruction\". Whether they're performing their breakout hit \"Dangerous\" or rocking out to the anthemic chorus of \"Tongues\", Joywave brings plenty of feel-good disco energy to th.

Both opening bands, jr astronmers and foreign air, put on a great show and joywave brought it home strong. the underground is small at 800 capacity which makes the shows feel more personal and the sound was fantastic.

They were so awesome! I wasn't really sure what to expect, but wow, I was really impressed. I honestly can't believe that they're not more popular- they definitely will be eventually! A very upbeat, fun, and down to earth approach to the performance, the sound was great, and the set list was spot on. I danced my butt off! Truly awesome show.

Every one of their songs are incredible and every one of their songs is the song you're waiting to hear.

Joywave put on a show and worked the crowd like a violin! I wasn't sure about how their singing would translate live, but i wasnt disappointed.

Seriously, the concert of the year. The venue was great, intimate and the volume not painfully loud. Everything about Joywave was perfect. They sounded great, played for over an hour, and everyone danced and sang along. It was a fun evening. Can t wait to see them again!

I didn't know much about Joywave and no knowledge of the opening groups, however I was delightfully impressed with the songwriting and the energy every band brought to the stage. Venue was clean and service was excellent. I would go back again and see any of the 3 groups performing.

The venue was very up close and personal. I loved how close the stage was and the staff was friendly. Joywave was amazing!!! And so was Foreign Air! We even got to meet some of the band after the show inside the venue with nobody yelling at us to leave like a lot of places do. Highly recommend this venue and event!

This was my third time seeing these guys live. I have never seen them perform so loose and happy. True grit has been performed and Life in a Bubble I Blew. I have neverrrrr seen either of those performed especially Life In a Bubble I blew. These are great musicians who hopefully continue to go far with their career. I recommend everyone to see them. Honestly, you never know what to expect from these guys. This time. I have no words. One of the best performances I've ever experienced live. Please, if you have the chance to see them regardless as an opener or in a small venue support them and go see them. They will never disappoint.

Great show! Joywave is full of energy, fresh. This show was nearing the end of a tour leg, but they showed no signs of boredom. Great crowd interaction, response to crowd energy. A LOT of fun!

Joywave exemplifies what is amazing about alternative rock! I saw them once before at Bower Ballroom, and was mesmerised at their amazing crowd energy. The lead singer is super energetic, and can command the entire crowd with a wave of his arms! When he crouches, we crouch. When he jumps, we jump. When he gets into his music, so do we! Joywave was an absolute delight, and I can not wait to see them again!!

Joywave is one the best bands to see live. They always deliver a fantastic show no matter where we see them and this was our third venue. Not only is their music hands down amazing but their live performance is one you'll always want to see again.

This band had the audience from minute one. They were so amazing, lead singer never lost momentum or control of the audience. Every single song he had people moving. It was so amazing.

I absolutely adored this concert. I got there about an hour and a half early and there weren't that many people in line yet, letting me get a spot right in the front by the speaker. It was a sparce crown right up until minutes before the show, but the room filled up really quickly and the people were amazing! So many people were jumping and screaming and there were hands everywhere. The venue was gorgeous, cool pattern painted walls and ceilings and cool lighting fixtures, paintings everywhere. The acoustics were great. The band was, of course, amazing. Daniel's voice is just as wonderful live as on cd, and he and the other guys did such a good job of keeping the audience pumped.

Joywave has that edge that gets the crowd excited, jumping, dancing, singing. Impossible not to smile and have great time.

Joywave is one of those bands that almost everyone has heard of, but not necessarily knows. My recommendation- get to know them. They are fantastic! Incredible stage energy and performance. Daniel, the lead singer, was jumping up and down, singing each and every song with as much passion and energy as the first song. The crowd was encouraged to jump up and down, wave arms, and sing along! Excellent song. Great shout out to opening acts. Would love to see them again.

I saw Joywave in October 2015 at the Brighton Music Hall with other acts: KOPPS and Mikaela Davis. KOPPS also had a ton of energy, but a bad mix with way to much squeaky vocals. I would not watch KOPPS again with the same mix, but they would be fun to see if this changed. Mikaela Davis seemed an odd match with the other two acts. Very sleepy music and her set was between the other bands, which really sucked the energy out of the room. Joywave was great. Sound guy woke up for this act. Very energetic act. Respectful of their fans.

IT was awesome. Joywave knows how to get a crowd going. Very energetic. Probably the best 15 dollars that you can spend

Great concert! High energy, alot of fun. Can't wait to see them again! Super nice guys! My daughter and her friends encountered a pushy, rude person and the band and the venue apologized. It happens at concerts, we were impressed that the band and the security really cared about their welfare.

Joywave is hands down one of the best live performances I've been to. They engage the audience. The lead singer energized the crowd through his movements and humor as well as great singing. The opening acts were pretty great too.

One of the lower ticketed crowds that they have had on the tour in one of the smaller venues. At least in pre sales. To the point where Joywave joked on social media that this was their farewell Columbus show. Their label mates, Kopps, started the show and got the crowd going. They were very energetic and were great to start. I listened to their music leading up to the show and was very impressed and they sounded great live. The second opener was Grace Mitchell and she was good but not as memorable. Then Joywave was up and got the crowd into it right away. Being that it was a smaller venue it became immediately intimate. They talked to the crowd and each interacted throughout he show. Very funny conversations were had. They got the whole entire crowd to jump even though we were all probably college age and over and probably haven't jumped in a show in a while. It was very fun and I can't wait to see them again. To that point they had a blast themselves and said that this would definitely not be he last time they came to Columbus and they can't wait to come back to see that crowd!!

Joywave put on a great show, as always. Starting with opening band KOPPS, the crowd was up and dancing and having a great time. The atmosphere was very enjoyable and I loved the crowd.
