JOYWAVE 1015PM
KOPPS - 9PM

Joywave is an eclectic group specializing in alternative pop hailing from Rochester, NY. After the success of 2013’s “88888” mixtape, they established their Hollywood Records imprint Cultco Music, through which they released their debut EP “How Do You Feel?” on March 11. With a catalog that deftly jumps between genre, Joywave’s “How Do You Feel?” EP demonstrates the band’s pointed talent for blending influences. The Joywave sound is grounded in classic songwriting, often injected with house music’s energy, disco’s playfulness and an overarching hip hop spirit. Where any other band might lose its identity in the quest to experiment with so many different sounds, Joywave’s all embracing approach and ineffable knack for making music that feels good puts their distinct personality front and center.

KOPPS' live shows serve one purpose: to make you sweat. The Rochester duo, consisting of Patricia Patrón and Kyle O, have a penchant for 90's dance music, female dominance, and anything involving synthesizers. While 2012 marked the release of their debut EP, the duo has since released a new single and have appeared on Joywave's Hype Machine-topping single, "Tongues". KOPPS' high-energy live shows will have you on your feet, leaving you wanting more from the self-described crazy sexy creepy dance duo.
