About The Joke

This band of punk-rock was born in 2009. Powerfull lyrics, melodical vocals and rythms, force on the stage... are our weapons!

The first live show was during the spring of 2009, and since then, they’ve brought their punk-rock at the ‘ATV’ (Sarria de Ter), ‘Mariscal’ (Estartit), ‘La Mirona’ (Salt), ‘El Blau Club’ (Girona), ‘Eclectic’ (Torello, BCN), Bruixes & Maduixes (Olot), Inagua JamBar (Palamós)... all arround Girona and Barcelona.
They’ve played at festivals (University of Girona, neighborhoods, towns ,...), and participated in contests, shows and festivals for emergent groups.
Their live show is vibrant, energetic and doesn’t leave indifferent.

Now they've done some shows, sharing stage w
