Fast-rising, viral old school alt punk-rap duo Joey Valence & Brae will bring their chaotic, anarchic live show to Cervantes’ Other Side on Feb 2 for a sold-out show!
Joey Valence & Brae released their highly anticipated debut album PUNK TACTICS earlier this fall, which debuted in the Top 10 on Spotify’s US Chart, and it throws listeners into a world that’s bursting with an insane amount of personality, humor and deeply accomplished musicianship. The duo recently scored their first Billboard chart hit with “HOOLIGANG,” which debuted on TikTok Billboard Top 50 chart and is currently occupying a top spot on TikTok’s Viral Sounds chart. The runaway smash has soundtracked more than 300,000 clips on the platform to date, and it’s the #4 top trending sound on Instagram. Check out my favorite track “Club Sandwich” which recently appeared in Good Burger 2.
MORE INFO: Influenced by the sounds and cultures of hardcore punk and hip-hop, they’re cleverly weaving their way through pop-culture and counterculture one banger at a time. Forged by the sounds of giants like Beastie Boys and brimming with ‘90s references including Mortal Kombat, Nike Air and Super Mario, JVB’s larger-than-life style of music is equal parts nostalgic and infectious – perfect for a wide-ranging group of both misfit teens and nostalgic adults. As a result, the duo has found a foothold amongst indie hip-hop stalwarts and Gen Z fans alike, earning them festival spots and major TikTok traction in less than a year. Since a chance meeting at a Penn State University Red Lobster, Joey Valence & Brae have taken their genre-breaking and era-bending sound from the Penn State University dorms to venues, festivals and homes around the world. Fueled by their many millions of followers across TikTok, YouTube and Instagram and hits such as “Double Jump” and “Punk Tactics,” — the former has often been referred to as “the best performance in the history of Ellen,” while the latter has been streamed more than 100 million times. They’re selling out shows across North America and Europe and performing at some of the world’s biggest music festivals (including Lollapalooza, Life is Beautiful and Riot Fest). The boys’ goal is to one day unite the world in peace and love, but in the meantime, they’ll be busy acquiring the largest Pokémon card collection of all time and releasing even more wild music.
