About Joan of Arse

Joan Of Arse began in 1996. Initial members were Jeanne D'Arse a.k.a The Bearded Lady, Asteroid and JG Gollier. A cassette 'The Big Band Sound Of the Joan Of Arse Big Band Sound' preceded the first 10" EP 'Le Remusement Triste et Lent de la Queve d'un Vieux Chien'. 'Lost At Sea' was the first full length in 1999. After a line-up change, the band recorded 'Distant Hearts, A Little Closer' in 2001 at Electrical Audio studios in Chicago with Steve Albini, releasing it on the same 2 labels in Europe and Flameshovel Records in the US. Two unfinished LPs 'Mating Under The Gallows' and 'How I Learned To Sing Like An Angel' may at some point emerge. Joan Of Arse been inactive since 2003, although The Bearded Lady has sporadically played gigs as The French Letter A.
