[ATTENDED: June 22, 2017] Joy Again
I had never been to PhilaMOCA before this evening. I was supposed to see Dungen there this winter, but a snow storm kept me away. Well, imagine my surprise that the event location is even smaller than I realized. You walk in and the band is directly to your left. There’s a small room and a balcony (sometimes in use) which holds about 250 people.
When I walked in Joy Again was already on stage. I had listened to their bandcamp release before the show. It was a lo-fi affair.
I was surprised at just how loud the band was live–a very different experience than I was expecting.
I arrived late and heard more or less three songs.
On the first one I believe Sachi (left?) was singing and they were rocking pretty hard. On the second one, I gather Arthur (right) was singing and it was slower with a very different style (and very different vocals).
I wanted to stay and watch but I really had to use the (gender neutral!) bathroom, so I didn’t get to see any more as their set ended while I was in there.
Wish I could say mor; what I heard sounded good.
