Joan As Police Woman - Berlin 2008

Joan As Police Woman, live at Lido, Berlin, 12th November 2008

Some Miss Wasser today, and a little lovely something from her current European tour. An excellent sound on this audience taped show, you can hear the crowd clearly in the quieter solo piano moments, but it's in no way intrusive, rather it gives you an illusion of being stood near the bar appreciating the show. A nice bit of continuation too, she's still playing with Parker Kindred, ex of Jeff Buckley, and the former Wasser/Kindred/Tighe group Black Beetle. Oh yes, and an unusual cover she's been playing for a while, around three minutes in length in its original incarnation, drawn out (not in an "Oh my god! Isn't this over yet?" way) to about seven by Joan and band.

Joan As Police Woman - Radio 6 Session

Joan As Police Woman, live session for BBC Radio 6, 2006

Another rather kookie lady today, and a rather fine one at that. Joan has been in and around the NY scene for many years now, and aswell as the session work for the likes of Rufus Wainwright, Elton John, and Anthony (& the Johnsons) Heggarty (I'm pretty sure she's not a faghag), she's been in a few less than successful bands, Black Beetle (with former Jeff Buckley band members) and The Dambuilders.

I once saw her perform with, and as support for, Rufus Wainwright, and althought there were alot of songs about dead rockers she was very impressive. As it was a Friday 13th, she said that she'd been thinking of ways to freak people out during the show and uttered "We're all going to die alone", at which point I threw my arms into the air and proclaimed "Woo!". Although she never saw me she did exactly the same and laughed. It gave me a warm feeling in my belly, not the same place I usually get a warm feeling when thinking of Joan mind.
