The group went acoustic for “Unattainable,” “No One’s Better Sake” and “The Next Time Around.” • Little Joy Enters the S.S.
Little Joy is a side project from The Stroke’s drummer Fabrizio Moretti, singer RodrigoAmarante of Los Hermanos, and singer Bikini Shapiro. This is a great little pop album; there’s not a lot of lyrical substance, but it’s very pleasant to listen to and it has a great production value. It sounds like an amalgamation [...]
Tuesday Dec 9 (8pm) @ Slim's If the Strokes is the tree, Fabrizio Moretti's new side project, Little Joy , doesn't fall far from it. RodrigoAmarante's ( Los Hermanos ) croon recalls Julian Casablancas, but where Fab's other band cultivated an energetic angst, these bouncy tunes drift over you like the sound of the surf crashing in the distance. Maybe it's the beach influence. Moretti...
... festival in Lisbon where Fabrizio Moretti was playing with his other little band, The Strokes . RodrigoAmarante , (former singer and guitarist for Los Hermanos ) happened to also be performing at the same festival.

By the time the show was ending, both opening bands – the Dead Trees and Red Cortez – were on stage to lend their help for a feel-good sing-along to Brand New Start , its head-over-heels chorus...
I've completely fallen for the short and sweet debut album from L.A. trio Little Joy , who hit Denver's Larimer Lounge on Tuesday night. After a chance meeting at a Portuguese music festival, Fabrizio Moretti of The Strokes and Brazilian musician RodrigoAmarante ( Los Hermanos ) sat beside a river and talked about their musical leanings. Upon returning to Los Angeles, they formed this...
Back away from the leftovers and get your yayas on over to the Parish Room for an evening of music headlined by Little Joy . The band is a side project for Strokes drummer Fabrizio Moretti who is joined in this endeavor by Los Hermanos singer/guitarist Rodrigo Amarante, and Bikini Shapiro. Moretti and Amarante have been tight since the pair hit it off at a festival in Lisbon last year. The act is...
... just a week before, on election day. Moretti last year joined forces with Brazilian musician RodrigoAmarante and diminutive vocalist Binki Shapiro and, together, the trio masterfully morphed together a sound as if The Strokes had decamped to a beach in Rio, hooked up with famed brazilian singer Astrud Gilberto and made a record under the stars. Tonight Amarante and Moretti...
