The Joans
Chicago-based band The Joans, formed in 2007, are a pop band that combine elements of old school new wave, glam, and electronic dance grooves to form their own unique sound. They have appeared live throughout Chicago including Chicago Pridefest and Halsted Market Days, among others and were honored to play the legendary Folsum Street Fair (San Francisco) and to open for Natasha Bedingfield, Cyndi Lauper and Joan Rivers at Milwaukee Pridefest 2008-2010.
The Joans were voted favorite rock band by Chicago Free Press readers in 2009 and were named best debut CD by Windy City Times. Their video Mad at the Dirt has appeared on NewNowNext and The Click List on the Logo Network and caught the attention of gay music icon Boy George who called The Joans “brilliant”. They recently produced their 2nd video, Joan Crawford Goes to Hell, and are working on new material for a future online release. We Are The Joans, their debut CD, was released in September 2009.
