Welsh band, featured on "The Twilight Saga" movie soundtrack, prepares for UK shows and touring with the Foo Fighters
Rock trio, The Joy Formidable, follow a summer of festival performances across the globe with a performance on CBS' The Late Show With David Letterman on Thursday, October 6. The band will then hit the road for a UK tour that begins October 13, in Birmingham, and ends at the Cardiff SWN Festival on October 21.
The band also have recorded a new song, "Endtapes," which will appear as the opening track on the upcoming release The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1 Original Motion Picture Soundtrack, available in stores and at all online retailers on Nov 8, 2011.
Following the Letterman appearance and UK dates, the band will tour with The Foo Fighters in November, opening a string of shows in the Northeast that includes a performance at Madison Square Garden in New York on November 13. The Foo Fighters invited The Joy Formidable to tour with them shortly after Dave Grohl posted a tweet to the Foo Fighter's twitter account in April saying: "I would like to personally thank The Joy Formidable for writing the song of the year, 'Whirring.' Xxx Dave."
The Joy Formidable also announce a new release on October 18. "The Big More" is a digital accompaniment to the band's debut album, The Big Roar, and features exclusive new tracks and a remix alongside lead track "Cradle." The EP contains a Fang Island remix of "Cradle," a live version of "Whirring" from the band's sold out Koko show, new track "Anemone" and a cover of the Roy Orbison classic "It's Over," chosen by fans via a poll on the band's website: www.thejoyformidable.com.
