One of my favorite new bands of the past few years is Welsh-band, The Joy Formidable. They are heading out on tour this March through April and I am woefully late in posting this information. They will also play at Coachella on the tour. The band’s new record, The Big Roar, comes out March 15 (it is already out in the UK). The band’s first record, A Balloon Called Moaning came out in 2009.  The music video for one song. Austere, is below.

Heading out on this tour as an opener is The Lonely Forest. I had two sets of dates from both bands and they didn’t line up. I do know The Lonely Forest are hitting SXSW on March 24 and that they have two headline dates in early March (March 3 in Seattle at  The Vera Project and March 5 in  Anacortes, WA at  The Port Warehouse).
