After 97 shows all over Europe and the USA in 2013 BIRTH OF JOY have already proven to be a true LIVE rock sensation! Besides creating catchy psychedelic 60/70's-hooks spiced up with stoner, blues and Rock and Roll influences, this threesome is also master in invoking a primal emotion that lays hidden in many of us. The kind of emotion that craves to burst out when you experience something true, something real. Well, these guys are it, they ARE the real deal: sex, drugs and Rock and Roll! Blood, sweat and... ah, mostly alcohol!

BIRTH OF JOY are taking part in a massive five month World Tour visiting BeNelux in February, North America with dates in March (kicking off with an appearance at Austin, TX's SXSW Festival).  The band then heads to UK/Switzerland at the end March, followed by Germany/France in April and Denmark/Norway/Sweden/Finland in May. Quite a schedule, but touring is what these guys do best. Official dates will be announced shortly!
