Little Joy As Fabrizio Pulls Out Of Tour

Isn't it great when a famous musician from a huge, globally recognised band goes off and forms a little side-project in the downtime between albums? And isnt it shame when said musician can't actually tour with his side-project because of going back into the studio with his other, bigger band? 

Well count Little Joy in for both of those slightly sarcastic statement's as unfortunately, Fabririzio Moretti (of The Strokes) wont be joining his side-project on stage as they tour North America this June due to studio-time with The Strokes.

Little Joy have confirmed that Fabirizio will be replaced by Jack Dishel of the band Only Son for the entire tour whilst Fabrizio himself will be busy in New-York creating the follow-up to The Stroke's rather half-baked 2006 long-player First Impressions Of Earth.

Little Joy's North American tour details can be seen just below and include a special night where they open for Regina Spektor at New Yorks Beacon Theatre.
