The Late Joys Gave a Little Flirt, Gave a Little Cuddle...
Austin Brit-Pop rockers The Late Joys’ 2025 special project was a one-night-only airing of Elvis Costello’s album “This Year’s Model” the first — possibly best — album he recorded with his backing band, The Attractions. After an intense 40 minutes, the LJs performed a set of faves as part of this double-header sonic-tonic.
The fun took place Saturday, February 1, 2025 at the venerable Carousel Lounge.

A Night of Songs by the Best Band Ever to Come Out of the UK*
Austin Brit-Pop trio The Late Joys performed (“incognito”) as A BAND CALLED MALICE — a night of songs by The Jam. Carousel Lounge, Sat. Jan. 28 9pm-1am. No cover.
The LJs played three sets of high-octane (and some surprise slow-burn) numbers by our fave UK outfit, including an airing of the 1979 album “Setting Sons,” energizing a packed house at our fave venue! The boys ran through a Jam gamut: songs from every album, songs familiar and definitely not! Plus a special guest or two to help us out. Carnaby Street couture was strongly encouraged!
👉 Sign up on the mailing list and get advance warning of the LJ’s sonic escapades!
*Yeah, okay, maybe there was that one other collection of Scousers...
