Little Joy

Video

Shot in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil on 8mm film, it looks to us like an indie sea side version of the Wonder Years title sequence. We must warn you it probably will make you want to quit your job and leave for California with only an acoustic guitar…

Biography

Little Joy is formed by Binki Shapiro, Rodrigo Amarante and Strokes member Fabrizio Moretti, three friends who dropped their routine at their respective hometowns to make a record in Los Angeles, California in 2007.

Through a chance encounter at a Portuguese festival in Lisbon, where both Amarante (Singer/Guitarist of Los Hermanos) and Moretti (drummer of The Strokes) had performed, the two chatted well through the night and into the morning by the side of the river, humoring the idea of working together on music that had no affiliation to their particular bands.
