"The most electric new band in Britain" - Joana And The Wolf are a London based four piece consisting of Lithuanian singer songwriter Joana and three British musicians, Ali (guitar), Louis (drums) and Katie (bass). They played their first gig in September 2005, stunning the audience with the dark, stripped-down harmonic and rhythmic power of the band which provided the perfect platform for Joana's sensational expressive voice and her raw, naked energy. The first half of 2006 saw the band play storming sets at Brighton's Great Escape festival, and at ULU supporting James Dean Bradfield. They also recorded their debut single ‘Purple Nights’ with Jim Abbiss (Arctic Monkeys, Editors producer) at The Chapel Studios for Regal/Parlophone. The single was released in August ‘06 to critical acclaim. Purple Nights went on to win Steve Lamaqc’s 6 Music Rebel Playlist vote, and receive regular airplay on John Kennedy’s Xfm show. Jim Abbiss also brought his recent producees Kasabian to a Joana and the Wolf gig, which prompted Serge Pizzorno to invite Joana to lend her voice on the title track to Kasabian’s latest album 'Empire'. At Bestival 2006 they performed a triumphant Sunday set on the Rock n Roll stage, and more recently recorded a live session on John Kennedy's Xfm show. In 2007 they continue to build a faithful following, whose votes helped take the band to the 2007 INDY Music Awards in May, where they won the award for Best New Wave Act. In the summer they travelled to Lithuania to play the inaugural B2gether festival alongside The Young Knives and Morcheeba. The band has just been nominated for their second Indy Music award.
