N°6 JOAN AS POLICE WOMAN - THE MAGIC

Linking this one was quite easy. Joan Wasser was Jeff Buckley's fiancee at the time of his death. Although she's been playing the violin since the age of 8 she only started to think about a real musician's career after Buckley died. After having played in several small bands she created Black Beatle, together with the former members of Buckley's band. They lasted until 2002 but never released an EP.

From this moment on Wasser went solo and Joan as police woman was born when Ben Perowsky joined on drums and rainy Orteca on bass. Joan is the singer, songwriter, guitar, violin and keyboard player. Throughout the years different musicians joined the band on different occasions.

Joan as police woman thanks his name to a 70's cop series. Apparantly she once had her hair done like the main character Police Woman in that series and from that moment on her friends would relate her to that series.

The band released 4 albums so far. Real Life in 2006, followed in 2008 by To survive. She recorded a series of cover for her third album naturally called Covers. Her latest album isn't even a month old since it gave birth on January 25th of this year. Therefor I've chosen to link their newest single called The Magic, wich is a very good song. If you like this you'll probably see her appear on different festivals this year. You might want to catch a glimp of her before she puts her sirens on and speeds away.
