Still watching this regularly in 2024.
Me too
Me too 👍
Guess you guy aren't ready for that, but your kids are going to love it.
This comment is everything.
Sir... this comment. Man of culture!
Best comment I’ve read in years. Literally.
Chuck! It's your cousin Ritzy.
I can’t believe how funny this comment is. It should be written in the comments section of every musical performance on RUclips!
Thanks for the kind words. We do it on a shoestring budget. This one was shot on 4 DSLR cameras. All of our videos are done with very little money, very small staffing but lots and lots of passion!
To see how far you all have come now! Great stuff keep it up KEXP :)
The video work is amazing, glad to see you guys never lost the passion!
Great gig. The only thing I ALWAYS hate about concert and studio shoots is the flipping of the camera angle every second. I'd rather just watch the band from one camera instead of inducing an epileptic seizure. Everyone does that flipping stuff. I want to watch the band not all that camera flips.
This band rocks! The guitar playing here with Rhydian and then when Ritzy threw down serious shred like her fingers were on fire blew me away....and Matt killing the drums!
You guys did great! This video still rocks 9 years later.
"Only 3 people making all that magnificent sound"
Amplifiers...
Hello from the US! I'm thankful to have discovered this song on the video game Hi-Fi Rush. The amount of dopamine I felt when it played was absolutely euphoric. Thank you for the awesome tunes The Joy Formidable! The song is absolutely formidable in the game.
6 years later and this is still my favorite 9 minutes on youtube
Jake Jerome
6.5 years on, surely you've seen them live now?
Jake Jerome metoo
Nope. It's mine now
Mine as well
Beautiful electronic mayhem and I LOVE IT !
It's 2021 and this still give me the chills
I only discovered it in 2021 but same
2022 represent
2022 checking in. This still gets regular play in my car.
YT pushed me this just the other day [Dec '22]. First time I'd heard this band. Instantly a fan.
I'm here to tell you because of a game called Hi-Fi Rush, it's giving chills to an entire new generation.
Years later and this is still one of the best live videos ever. The bassist adding his harmonies at the end of the chorus is still so good
So glad to see that this type of music still exists in the world
Ten years ago it did
Holy crap. That was some beyond-Sonic-Youth beautiful noise - shitty bike shop acoustics slayed. 10 years later I'm hearing beautiful shoegaze from this band and discovering some epic history.
Dunno what that means but I like it
It's not shoegaze; this is no slowdive; it's another beast entirely...they really know how to rock...
@@christophermaynard1902 it's def shoegaze
@@slaytronic well I'm hearing something different lol...it's all good...to me the the sound of shoegaze will always be slowdive. Been listening to them since the beginning I guess it's just me being spoiled by their signature sound...tjf sound when I hear it can be quite heavy at times which I absolutely love....enjoy the music!!!!
@@slaytronic it's gazing-at-someone-elses-shoes-gaze
Hi Fi Rush 😍
Man, it's a great look, but it's gotta be tough to tour with all those bikes...
I want this played at my funeral with that crescendo playing full blast as my coffin goes through the curtain.Thank you and good night BOOM !!! What a way to go )
Can I steal this idea? That would be such an incredible way to go out
Beautiful. I’m definitely stealing that.
This version of the song is the chaos, pathos, joy and sadness of a whole life lived condensed into nine minutes of pure emotion.
Perfect.
i think this band has the best vibe between each other on stage out of any band i've ever seen.
Did you ever see ATDI at their peak? You cannot top that
End of the decade and still the best 9 minutes.
I heard the studio version on a Spotify playlist, which led me to checkout this video. This inspires, hope we can back to shows like this someday.
yeah...maybe some day :/
Amazing! They deserved a better crowd reaction than a polite clap at the end
How the f*** do just three people make a sound so thick and loud and heavy and immense!? Bloody love TJF
2019 and I’m comin back constantly!
Right there with ya buddy
That song woke me the fuck up! I hadn't heard this in ages. I used to love this song. I guess I've been asleep for the past decade!
saw them open for Foo Fighters in DC in 2011. did a killer job and i remember this song giving me chills. forgot all about it until 12 years later.
I was at that show. Luck enough to be in a suite. We weren't really paying much attention to them. Until this song. Honestly, the whole suite stopped dead in their tracks, stopped talking and watched. Mouth agape, Unreal.
That rockout brings a tear to my eyes every single time. Go Wales! :D
Just watched them live in Columbus with Mobley and The Front Bottoms. The were one of the openers but when they were finishing with this song for the night. I would have been content and happy to leave after this. I was blown away at how amazing this is live. Made a forever fan out of me!
Just saw them a few nights ago in Portland. Agreed. This song live vibrates your DNA in all the good ways.
@@Winter-Cardinal To me, it’s now my definition of concert. The atmosphere was out of this world.
Yes I saw them a year ago in Charlotte. Blew away the other acts!
I didn’t think the video version could be topped but here we are.
Was there live. The one time I saw them. Hell of a show.
Most certainly fae people from the preaternatural periphery. Thank you for visiting. Your songs shall enchant me forever more.
My five year old daughter was dancing her ass off to this song in the kitchen this morning. How cool is that? Man, I boogied too! Great band. And, as one comment below noted, she does put a lot of male frontmen to shame. She's got it.
These guys are awesome live. So much force for a 3 piece band. They blew everyone away.
I guess you could say they were a formidable force.
Booooo
thedogoffaleash oh the joy
+soapmeridius both of you deserves medals
stunned and wanting more
Just rediscovered this absoloute gem, I'd forgotten how wild these 3 are live, still touring in 2023
Time to dig the cd's out again I think
Imagine watching this and it not setting your nerve endings on fire
Holy shit that was intense. The crescendo just kept building and building.
I love it. Seen them live three times. I never have run as fast as I have listening to this song.
now that’s what you call excellent songwriting
This goes to show.. it doesn't matter how much money you put into something.. if you suck at it, no money will help you make it look good. The passion for it will overcome budgets and will really put things together well. Good job, this is probably the best live recording of them to date!
Wow, props to that drummer! Awesome performance.
She is goddamn intense. Thanks, KEXP, for being there to give this to us. What an amazing performance.
This is My all time favorite band. Never die The Joy Formidable.
for me too!
I really liked editing in this video....I usually don't like a cut-a-second, but it works for this performance... I kept thinking she was going to set that guitar on fire...then I realized that she did....
They went all out for the audience.I bet they went home thinking that was the best concert they ever been to.
I showed this video to an acquaintance of mine to convince him to come to a TJF show with me, and a few years later I was best man in his wedding.
Not saying it's related, but it certainly didn't hurt.
This performance is too dope! Still a banger, to this day!
Everytime i watch this, it brings me to tears, these guys try so impeccably hard
Went to see them just to hear this one, and I was not disappointed !
Hard to believe this has been 10 years...SXSW was stacked that year and i almost missed this performance at Mellow Johnny's. It ended up being one of the highlights of the week!! I hope in 2021-22 we can get back to this type of setting...this is what makes music magical.
The welsh dragon breathes
I seriously can't believe this band. Every live performance of this song on youtube completely destroys. UNBELIEVABLE!!
These folks are really really really really really really really really good.
OK, an unknown just discovered band, a girl at guitar, bikes all around and a bunch of noisy pedals... Am I dead? I'm in heaven?
You're in heaven, like me the first time I discovered this band!
Wow, intoxicating.
I was not expecting that at all!
Most excellent…
new meme meaning, i agree
That was too perfect
man- wish i could've seen this performance, hey but these guys are the REAL FREAKING DEAL- Go TJF!!! -Big fan
There’s this video game called HiFi Rush and one of the levels feature this song. I’m glad the game introduced this song to me 🤘🏼🔥🤌🏼✨
She's got real character!
Man. She has a mezmorizing voice. So unique. And good live.
Now THAT'S a great use of a bike shop after hours. Love this band.
I love you The Joy Formidable
Delightful. 😶
now THAT was a trip. thanks for making my day!
I saw them at Corona Capital in Mexico City, I can't describe it!!!!!
The Joy Formidable are AWESOME!
I love you The Joy Formidable and this wonderful live too!!
wonderful live, i love The Joy Formidable
I just luv ritzy's crazy eyes! :D
KEXP often makes me kick myself for missing bands live. Adding the Joy Formidable to the list. Outstanding.
this is my favorite live version of the song, including at the beginning, where the drummer looks like he's off his meds
There aren't enough girls rocking out on electric guitars these days, this is brilliant stuff

(I discovered The Joy Formidable as a RUclips suggestion under it.)
@@thereaction8648 I'll add ruclips.net/video/93WZ-fgYpx4/видео.html and ruclips.net/video/RtlzCkrPBDs/видео.html
@@thereaction8648 from kexp to high school talent show smh
@@mammontustado9680 Is this supposed to be an insult? If you think the Warning are a high school band, I'd love to hear clips of the musicians from *your* high school. I'll wait....
@@thereaction8648 His high school can beat up your high school.
These guys and girl are by far the sweetest bandmates I have seen in a long time. And they make such nice music.
I've listened to this a bunch and it's still amazing
this band is completely insane. i can't believe how much power and energy they channel through their three instruments. and +1 on the absolutely superb film editing. it would have been a very different video without it.
Watching Ritzy here is why I love music.....intensity, emotion, great playing.....she is on her way to rock goddess category
damn, it's been 10 years!!! I was sitting in the 7th grade of my JHS years and now here I am trying to finish my college... in the 9th Semester! ffkk where was time goes by? I miss those years. Tons of dreams. I feel like my time has gone wasted.
God, they're brilliant. Can't wait to see them again next month!
I go back to this video when I want to watch a kick ass music performance!!
She's such an awesome guitar player!
How have I only just got into this band?! absolutely incredible. Beautiful music.
I did not blink or breathe those last 5 minutes! Amazing sound!
Just saw them last saturday, still the same energy, they fucking kick ass. Best show of the festival for me
for me too!!
Force of fucking nature, them. Just wonderful.
Discovered this gem of a so in high school, it would take me on such a trip :) it matched my youthful energy at the time!
Jesus... Can we take a second and appreciate Rhydian tuning his string mid-song at 2:19 and then jumping back in without any fuss? What a pro
okay, who's back because of hi fi rush?
I never though music fit so well into an epic scene as when this song builds in that game. It’s amazing. I never heard of the joy formidable until then and I’m
Better for it now
Me. Totally forgot about this awesome song. Was playing Hi-Fi Rush tonight and this song started playing during an intense fight sequence and I was so for it!!! Got a little teary eyed yet laughing too. So fun!
love you The Joy Formidable and this wonderful live too!!
God i'm so glad i clicked on this weird preview! I guess it is now stuck in my head for a long time.
Love the editing for the video
Epic !
After watching this , You guys are always in my bloody heart
it must be spring... why does this song bring me to tears?
I love this song...ritzy is amazing 😘
Never usual leave a comment but that was fucking awesome!
(an overused word to be sure, but I'll use it anyway) ... AWESOME!
Here from HI-Fi Rush
Thanks KEXP for capturing this amazing moment.
Gooooooooddamn!! Talk about leaving it all on stage!! So nice to see such energy in music once again.
Incredible energy!
Hope to see you in India again soon :)
huge fucking sounds for a 3 piece , love this album too :)
Love. Amazing. Brilliant. Can't get enough!
Very good group which energy melody, energy and madness. Largent Daniel
Saw these guys at Glastonbury in 2011, my god did people move - you felt like you were in a tremor area, people rocking in unison.
Some of these people have to just be like "what the fuck happened?!" lmao this girl can shred
What a jam..
Damn that rocked! But some in the crowd looked a bit nonplussed like they were expecting a bike maintenance tutorial
