Joan Of Arc
on June 2nd at the Media Club in Vancouver, I will be born anew in the genius of my favourite collective of musicians. No other group has influenced me musically as much as these people.
Joan of Arc are a band comprised of members of:
- Cap'n Jazz
- Owls
- American Football
- The Promise Ring
- Maritime
- Friend/Enemy
- Love Of Everything
- The One Up Downstairs
- Aloha
- Noyes
- Ghosts & Vodka
- Make Believe
- Sharks and Seals
- Sam Zurick, People Dick
- Owen
- The Sky Corvair *see footnote
- others which only existed for one-off shows
Their new album "Boo, Human!" is out May 20th, and is available for pre-order on the Polyvinyl website. The first single, of course called "A Tell-Tale Penis" (in true Kinsella fashion).
from "Boo, Human!", 2008 Polyvinyl/Jade Tree

Now, I know you're thinking "but wait, how could Miles possibly tie this to Braid? Well, I can. Tim Kinsella and Bob Nanna (Gauge, later Braid, Hey Mercedes, City On Film) both played guitar and sang in the Sky Corvair, before moving onto their main bands. The circle is complete.
*POST footnote
I originally wrote "This concert will potentially rival my marriage AND the birth of my first-born in terms of personal importance", but eventually deemed that just totally ridiculous.
