Warm wishes to you all from The Joy Formidable.
I'd like to kick off this mailout by thanking everyone who saw and supported us on tour - cheers guys and a note to White Lies and Post War Years for a very happy and inspiring 3 weeks. I'll be posting some pictures and stories in the next few days, so if you have anything to share from the tour please send to

We're very happy to announce the launch of
The Joy Formidable this week, where you can join our forum for wild debates, visit our shop and watch the banned unofficial video to Austere. We look forward to meeting you there.
Simultaneously, we've also updated our myspace where you can hear new tracks Whirring and Cradle (remixed by Kyte), see new pictures and videos and get your paws on a brand new T shirt design.
For those of you in London, please come and see us if you're free and fanciful in Covent Gardens this Wednesday, Oct 29th at 5.30pm (Dr Martens instore on Neal St). My patronage of Dr Martens since childhood is about to pay off, I can forget the playground jibes about me wearing clompy boys shoes!

I'd also like to draw your ears to NME RADIO that broadcasts on 87.7FM in London. Apart from being a really great radio station, no adverts just continuous new music, we've been invited to "hijack" a session on November 10th at 5pm, where we'll play our favourites old and new. Email us any suggestions and we'll pick out a "fan" track and give you a mention.
