Joy Killed the Duke consists of four energetic idiots from Utrecht, the Netherlands. Established in 2017, they have been all over the Dutch live music scene with their unique female-fronted blend of grunge, punk and garage. On stage they exhibit a hyper-energetic and positive attitude. With their bright-colored outfits the band members distinguish themselves from other bands within the genre, because deviating from the norm should be the normal thing to do. The band’s last two singles ‘’Alone Time’’ and ‘’Worlds Apart’’ were produced in Mailmen Studios by Martijn Groeneveld. The singles received attention by 3voor12, 3FM, and KINK, made the long list of the KINK NL Top 100 of 2022, made the band a Pinguin Radio Featured Artist, and charted in IndieXL’s Indie Chart for six consecutive weeks. The band has also received international attention from blogs such as EarNutrition and AAAMusic. The band performed throughout the whole Netherlands at venues such as KINK In Touch, De Neushoorn, Stathe Utrecht and De Gigant. In 2023, the band plans to become a household name in the Dutch pop circuit by touring music venues and festivals. The year starts with a showcase gig at ESNS.
