Amo Joy are from Indianapolis, IN, and their thing is quirky instrumentation. Kazoos and a slide whistle figure prominently, but it doesn’t feel like a gimmick. There’s a legitimate 60’s psych-pop flavor to what they do, and it’s a blast to see live. The audience at Inner Peace really dug Amo Joy from the beginning, but we were totally won over once the band starting tossing out tambourines and noisemakers partway through their set.
