The Joy Formidable is re-releasing a special commemorative 10-year double album of their acclaim debut A Balloon Called Moaning. The record came out in October via Hassle Records. As you know, A Balloon Called Moaning was first EP I own from this band, way back in 2009. It’s good to see the Welsh band come full circle with this 10 year anniversary.
In celebration, the group will be doing a “The Ten Years Floating Tour” … stopping by the Fine Line Music Café this Saturday, December 14th.
Show up early to check out Nashville indie rockers Twen. Twen’s latest Awestruck is out now on Frenchkiss (The Orchard).
Tour dates:
12/13 – Milwaukee, WI @ Colectivo
12/14 – Minneapolis, MN @ Fine Line Music Cafe
12/17 – Seattle, WA @ Tractor Tavern
12/18 – Portland, OR @ Doug Fir Lounge
