Glittermine by Jessie Evans
Jessie Evans is a Californian singer, saxophonist,
producer and visual artist currently residing in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
Fan of the English ska bands The Selecter and Specials, she learned to
play sax and moved to San Francisco when she was a teenager,
forming the Subtonix. Shortly after, she experimented with singing
and started The Vanishing, then the synthetic duet Autonervous with
Bettina Koester of the German all girl band Malaria!
In 2009, her first solo album, Is it Fire ?, was be recorded in Mexico
and co-produced by Pepe Mogt (Nortec Collective). This album feat. Toby Dammit (Iggy and The Stooges), Budgie (Siouxsie and the Banshees,The Creatures), and Martin Wenk (Calexico).
In the last few years she's collaborated with Glass Candy, Hanin Elias
(Atari Teenage Riot), Lydia Lunch, and The Extra Action Marching
Band (USA), among others.
Armed with her saxophone like a machine gun, this former punk
struts and shimmies to hypnotic beats to stamp her glittery universe
into the stars. Between burlesque tragi-comic performance, and
sultry dancefloor, a concert of Jessie Evans fuses no-wave, disco,
Afrobeat, pop, reggae and Latin chaos, to create her own brand of
SPACE VAMP, exceeding any musical label.
She is currently in the studio in Sao Paulo working on some new tracks with Pitshu (Angola/ Brazil), and Kasdub Productions (Sao Paulo).
