On the next episode of Opening Act, get ready to party, dance and use massive amounts of hairspray!

That's because we're meeting Joy Island—a Boston-based group with a unique club sound whose main goal is to make you dance. Which makes them the perfect fit for headliner's LMFAO, right?

Well, maybe, because just as they get the biggest break of their life some of their hard partying gets in the way of their work ethic.
