    Artist description
    "Band" consists of financially needy song writers with no formal musical training, who look to the customary acoustic guitar and modern day beeps & blips for guidance. Don't be fooled, "band" would like more money for more equipment. In addition, "band" only exists through the world of the internet and postal recording.
    Music Style
    Cheesy, contrived description of musical style/philosophy: nervous folk-like pop with a solid absence of rock, zzz
    Musical Influences
    Nintendo, William S. Burroughs early tape splices, Aaliyah, and Beach Boys!

    Artist History
    Contre La Joie is in no way French. They couldn't be anymore American, in fact. They are under the impression that they are actually enjoying the Americanized ethnic foods they consume. If only there was "authentic ethnic" food. They have a preference for playing their songs to fans of pop music. Sarcasm, sarcasm, sarcasm, young hip bands desperately trying to avoid being categorized, more sarcasm, blatant "humor", dead end.
