"Whirring" by The Joy Formidable on Late Show With David Letterman 

LOVE THIS BAND! MUST SEE LIVE, PLEASE!!!

When I saw this on TV, it reminded me there was still life on this planet. What a performance. Such energy.

First of all, I'm an old dude...53 years old. Love these guys since the beginning...when I tell people about them they're like who? And i love that! Don't change guys! I even turned my 15 year old to you guys and he's like 'Dad, youve been holding out on me!' Please come to Kansas City or St Louis for a show...we will be front row...me and my walker

The Joy Formidable play fucking loud and I love them to bits for it.

A beautiful wall of sound.

I never heard of the Joy Formidable until this appearance. If made me get the album and start following them. What a lively performance.

A wonderful noise from a pixie 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿Welsh woman and her bandmates 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

visiting back-- probably the most under-appreciated band in the last decade

Dude smashes the drums like Grohl.

Great performance! Fantastic, exuberant chorus and marvelous ending!

‘North Whales’ 😂

Love this song. Wonderful performance.

She is my Spirit Animal.

One of the most fun concerts you can see. They always bring it.

They are just fuggin amazing

Exquisite

25 years ago this would have been up there with Hole, Garbage, etc

I love you The Joy Formidable

Amazing 😀

Going to see them live for the third time tonight! Always give 100% one of my favorite bands!!

Love the drummer

incredible.....

wow this is 2k quality video of the joy .. nice Sean.... very nice

posted all that while I watched.... this is now one of my fave videos.... good quality and better than the dam video... thanks Sean.

Brilliant!!!

this is better than the official video for this song...

literally laughed my ass off at 3:46 when Ritzy kicked the kick drum near the end

Letterman at 4:13: "I enjoyed that!"

That's how you do it

We only found them supporting The Cure (with 2 other bands who were nowhere near as good). The JF went first & ended with this song which was instantly my favourite. Awesome band. So glad we found them.

While it is nice to see them break out on American TV live they had to edit the length of the song for the show. To see a really great version of them live in America check out their performance " The Joy Formidable - Whirring (Live on KEXP)" on youtube.

Amazing. That’s how how you get a road worn guitar. Play it hard with passion. These musicians Wail!

peeweetoms brought me here.. r.i.p

It's The Joy For-MID-able

Amazeballs. 💝

Amazing

One of the best performances on his show, and one of his worst.

Epic.

hahahahaha Ritzy is so cute man hahahaha at the end hahaha

Ritzy appears to have like six Tube Screamers stacked atop one another. @3:18

Sadly, this is a neutered version… It’s typically many more joyous minutes longer.

these could've been massive.

That’s one fucking badass bitch. Performs like the female Cobain. Unreal. Just absolutely brilliant.

The old people in the audience were like holy shit, what is this noise? Double bass and fast licks.

I just realized my miserable friend is myself.

I miss dave.... I really miss him...

I knew about them by the newer NFS Most Wanted, now here I am, a big fan. Also, isn't her strumming technique/pattern weird?

Coulda fooled me, looks like an )-(. Great song, miss Letterman.

what an adorable rock star. ritzy kicks @ss.

Show me a late night tv with more energy--EVER!😮

Okay so I've decided I need to do more cid.

fucking unbelievabvle...was Letterman there when they played ?

lol @ the people upset at Dave for not being super enthusiastic. I have to assume you have *no idea* who Dave Letterman is.

I love this song but damn that outro is incredibly long. Even longer on the album
