A Little Joy of the Day

Led by The Strokes drummer Fabrizio Moretti, Little Joy released their debut, eponymous album in November of last year. The latest Stroke to venture out on a side project, Moretti met Rodrigo Amarante ~ singer/guitarist of Brazilian indie-rock outfit Los Hermanos and recent Devendra Banhart collaborator ~ at a festival in Lisbon, Portugal in 2006.



A year later, the group added a third member, multi-instrumentalist Binki Shapiro (now Moretti's girlfriend), and moved into Los Angeles' Echo Park, near a cocktail lounge which is now the band's namesake. The album was recorded with the help of another Banhart collaborator and instrumental wizard, Noah Georgeson.
