Formed around the talents of <a href="spotify:artist:0UOrkpzPED604dKzxgfJqg">Rodrigo Amarante</a> (singer/guitarist from Brazilian indie rock outfit <a href="spotify:artist:7Brxri4l1ATShikyHXsEr6">Los Hermanos</a>), Fabrizio Moretti (drummer for <a href="spotify:artist:0epOFNiUfyON9EYx7Tpr6V">the Strokes</a>), and <a href="spotify:artist:5ROABVYKJnEJa7ilOwceaq">Binki Shapiro</a> (a Los Angeles-based singer), Little Joy came to fruition after a chance encounter between <a href="spotify:artist:0UOrkpzPED604dKzxgfJqg">Amarante</a> and Moretti at a festival in Lisbon, Portugal. Moretti, <a href="spotify:artist:5ROABVYKJnEJa7ilOwceaq">Shapiro</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:0UOrkpzPED604dKzxgfJqg">Amarante</a> -- the latter had relocated to Los Angeles to appear on <a href="spotify:artist:1YZEoYFXx4AxVv13OiOPvZ">Devendra Banhart</a>'s Smokey Rolls Down Thunder Canyon album -- eventually moved into a house in L.A.'s historic Echo Park (Little Joy stole their moniker from a cocktail lounge within walking distance from their home) and began hashing out songs. The group's eponymous Rough Trade debut arrived in late 2008. ~ James Christopher Monger, Rovi
