Jessie Evans

The singer and Saxophonist Jessie Evans, along with her partner Toby Dammit on the drums, look like they just sprung out of a Charlie Chaplin film and play a fresh and thoroughly danceable mix of pop, electro and afrobeat. Like the rebirth of James White and Christina, this peculiar exile Californian and extraordinary saxophonist mixed with groups such as The Vanishing, Autonervous & Subtonix and artists such as Hanin Elias (Atari Teenage Riot), Bettina Köster (Malaria!) & Glass Candy (USA) before she admitted herself on a crazy adventure as Voodoo -Cabaret duo with percussionist Toby Dammit (Iggy Pop, Swans). Imbedded between crazy sailoresque sex appeal and vanguard, it would have settled the pride of record labels in the 80s. The sound comes fresh, bold and highly danceable. The live show - flirtatious with an incredible energy !"

Jessie is now in the final stages of production with her first solo album "Is it Fire" which was recorded between the former broadcasting and communications headquarters of the DDR in Berlin to La Playas of Tijuana, Mexico. The songs feature guest musicians Budgie (The Creatures, Siouxsie and The Banshees), Martin Wenk (Calexico), and Namosh (Berlin). Recorded by Thomas Stern (Einstürzenden Neubauten, Crime and The City Solution) and mixed by Pepe Mogt (Nortec Collective).
