Rochester indie pop band Joywave’s smooth dance jams bring to mind the sounds of 80’s synthpop with bright vocal production and catchy hooks. Fans of acts like Hot Chip and Cut Copy will appreciate the quintet’s songwriting that combines both sampling and original composition and draws from a wide array of pop influences. This Saturday, the band will bring their shimmering synth heavy sound to the dance floor of Dukes’s for buffaBLOG’s 3rd Birthday Party.
Their first single “Golden Gate,” released in 2011, is nothing less than dance pop bliss and features one of the band’s most memorable choruses. In March of 2012, they released their debut EP, Koda Vista which draws inspiration from the presence of the Eastman Kodak company in the band’s hometown of Rochester. This April, Joywave are set to release their mixtape entitled 88888 and if the track’s “All I Want” and “London” from the group’s soundcloud page are any indication, their sound is still evolving while maintaining it’s strong pop sensibility and shimmering dance aesthetic. The band is set to go on around 12:30am on Saturday which is only appropriate as their smooth nocturnal jams are sure to elevate the energy level at what is sure to be another celebration of our fantastic local artists at Duke’s.
