Joan As Police Woman - The Magic

	Vol.V Ep.049 Wikipedia Lyrics
Info: Joan Wasser is a violinist, guitarist and singer/songwriter in the indie rock world. Wasser began her career playing with the Boston University Symphony Orchestra before joining local bands the Lotus Eaters, Hot Trix and the Dambuilders. Due to disillusionment, creative malaise, and a need to expand their respective musical horizons, the Dambuilders disbanded in October 1997. In May 1997, her boyfriend, musician Jeff Buckley, drowned accidentally, in Memphis, Tennessee. She continued to play with Those Bastard Souls, a solo project started in 1995 by Dave Shouse of The Grifters. They made a record entitled "Debt and Departure" attempting to respond to Buckley's death. In late 1997 she created a band with the remaining members of Buckley's band called Black Beetle and finished an eponymous album which was never released. This was the first project where she was writing as well as fronting a band. In 1999, Joan joined Antony and the Johnsons and contributed to their Mercury Prize-winning album, I Am A Bird Now. The end of Black Beetle in June 2002 brought the beginning of Wasser's work as a solo artist and the creation of a new band, Joan As Police Woman, with Ben Perowsky on drums, percussion and backing vocals and Rainy Orteca on bass and backing vocals. The group self-released an eponymous EP in 2004. Joan As Police Woman's full-length debut, Real Life, was released in 2006. Her second album, To Survive, was released in 2008. At the end of her 2009 European tour, Wasser returned to New York to play a show and release a new album of cover songs, entitled Cover. Joan last album, The Deep Field, was released in 2011.
