An Evening With Joan as Policewoman feat. Mark Eitzel and Peggy Sue & The Pirates

The second concert of the season was also a hit. Joan As Police Woman still has it. The audience was visibly moved. Together with Mark Eitzel and Peggy Sue and The Pirates, she made it a quiet, but very varied evening.

Joan As Police Woman

Joan As Police Woman is no longer unknown at the Handelsbeurs. She opened the past concert season with an unforgettable concert for a sold-out crowd. Joan contributed to records by Sparklehorse, Lou Reed, Nick Cave, Scissor Sisters, Sheryl Crow, Dave Gahan and Nirvana. She played with Antony & The Johnsons and Rufus Wainwright. Since 2006, she has been a rising star herself, with an exponentially growing fan base. Anyone who hears her embraces her. Joan As Police Woman sounds vulnerable and indestructible at the same time. Her voice and music have a devastating power that forces every listener to their knees...

Mark Eitzel (American Music Club)

Mark Eitzel is the frontman of the cult band 'American Music Club', but has also acquired a strong solo reputation. He owes this not only to his voice, but also to his exceptional insight into composing music. With the energy of punk, the pastoral beauty of folk and the melodrama of lounge, Mark Eitzel built one of the most impressive poetic song collections in modern pop.

Peggy Sue & the Pirates

Behind Peggy Sue and the Pirates are two wonderfully British, controlled, wild friends. Their light yet tearing voices are reminiscent of Joan As Police Woman. Their music goes through the bone, the chills continue to linger. There is an angelic thump in every song. A selection from their arsenal of influences: Janis Joplin, Regina Spektor, Johny Cash, Moldy Peaches, Siouxous Sioux and the Banshees, Peggy Lee, Björk, The Beatles, Lauren Hill, Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan, Erykah Badu, Nina Simone, < /p>
