If you were ALT in the late 90's, or a fan of Cap'n Jazz, there's a decent chance you had a brief love affair with Joan of Arc, especially for their energetic live shows. While most bands from this era have broken up and grown up, JOA apparently didn't get the memo. They've only gotten better, with less emo and angst, more fun and groove. There's nothing like a tight veteran band with years of experience still rocking out, doing what they love. And you can still catch them in a small venue. Know what I mean?
