Joudy is a band of Venezuelan expats formed in youth under the growing shadow of a corrupt authoritarian regime. The psych-grunge band were forced to flee their homeland one-by-one at the height of their success, the trio, originally included five members gradually dispersed around the globe. Just over three years after their separation, and to their great surprise, cousins Diego Ramirez (vocals/guitar), Gabriel Gavidia (bass) and Hulrich Navas (drums) were reunited in New York City in 2020. Re-formed as a 3-piece, Joudy’s trials of transformation and assimilation into an alien world mutated their singular sound in unanticipated ways.

Joudy are inspired by the sounds of QOTSA, and Melvins, melding their dark sound and Venezuelan roots with the spontaneous, dissonant energy of their new world to create a sound of their own. For Joudy, New York City has become a second chance– a place to rebuild their lives and their music, and to share a vision they nearly lost with the world they left behind. Resuming practice with renewed fury, the group have quickly earned a reputation for their explosive live performances, in contrast with the introspective and esoteric lyricism that has become their signature

The have been super-busy over the past year, playing shows at South By Southwest and New Colossus Festival. The band recently released their third video-single, “Tail End”, 14th via Trash Casual, the track is off their album Destroy All Monsters.
