Joan As Police Woman @ Shepherd's Bush Empire, 9th September

[sofiahagberg]

We are proud to announce the return of JOAN AS POLICE WOMAN in collaboration with Mean Fiddler at the Shepherd's Bush Empire on the 9th September 2011.

Joan's musical career, even in a nutshell, can send you weak at the knees. Her glitter-covered, five-string violin-cum-viola provided the rhythmic thrust alongside the guitars in The Dambuilders. Those Bastard Souls (fronted by Grifters guitarist David Shouse with Joan, Steven Drozd from The Flaming Lips and Fred Armisen of Trenchmouth) and Black Beetle (which included Michael Tighe and Parker Kindred from Jeff Buckley's band) followed before Joan decided to go it alone. But her pal Antony asked her to join his fledgling Johnsons, and she stayed for years, right up until Rufus Wainwright asked her to join his band and be the support act: "I kept trying to make my music a priority but I loved playing in other people's bands."

So this is your chance to see Joan doing her own thing - it's bound to be a magical and really special night!

And hot off the press - BETH JEANS HOUGHTON - another End of the Road favourite has just been confirmed as the support act! Double whammy!
