Real Life Evolution

Joan As Police Woman releases her new album Real Life Evolution. Ten reimagined versions of every song from Joan As Police Woman’s Real Life album (Reveal Records 2006). Twenty years in the making. Developed through countless nights on stage, these new arrangements are brought to life by the musical brilliance of the players who helped define their sound. Some transformations are subtle. Others are seismic. All of them were made with an entirely new cast of collaborators. In order of appearance: Will Graefe, Jeremy Gustin, Tony Scherr, Parker Kindred , Danny Blume, Krystle Warren, Oren Bloedow, Thomas Bartlett and Iggy Pop.
