Since their debut show at CBGB on a Sunday night in February 2016, St. Louis music fans have anxiously awaited recorded work from Joan of Dark. The rock n’ roll supergroup was formed by Ellen Herget (vox/guitar) and is buttressed by scene vets Natalie Huggins (guitar), Kristin Dennis (drums), and Jenny Roques (bass).

The band’s first single is “Evil Eye,” a smart, snarky tune recorded at Native Sound. It was engineered by Will Godfred, mixed by David Beeman, and mastered by Ben Majchrzak.

And get this: Joan of Dark has partnered with STL button queens Butt’n Booty to create a unique piece of merch in conjunction with the “Evil Eye” release. Purchase a set of JOD buttons, get a download code for the song. Local bands: More cool collabs, please!

IWTAS is pleased to premier “Evil Eye” below:

Joan of Dark will play three(!) festivals this summer. The group is also looking forward to booking smaller clubs shows, collecting new fans along the way.

Upcoming JOD dates:

Showcase STL – Sat, 6/15, 5 pm (The Gramophone)
Open Highway Music Festival – Thur, 8/3, supporting Diarrhea Planet (Off Broadway)
Pu Fest – Sat/Sun, 9/9 & 9/10 (RKDE)
