About us


Once upon a time on the night of the full moon Joana went to the forest and came across the wolf who was howling. She came closer and said hey wolf can you teach me to sing that nice hooooowl. And the wolf said yes and asked her to open her pretty mouth, and when she did the wolf jumped in like into a deep well. Since then, the girl wanders around with the wolf inside her and each time the moon is full she lets out a wild hoooowl.

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, and since that time, between regular London gigs, they have performed at Brighton's Great Escape festival, have supported James Dean Bradfield at ULU, they have played the Rock n Roll stage at Bestival, and recorded a live session for John Kennedy at Xfm.

They recorded their debut single ‘Purple Nights’ with Jim Abbiss (Arctic Monkeys, Editors producer) at The Chapel Studios for Regal/Parlophone. The single 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 then producees Kasabian to a Joana and the Wolf gig, which led to Joana lending her voice to the title track of Kasabian’s 'Empire' at Serge Pizzorno’s invitation.

In 2007 Joana And The Wolf continued 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.

They were an Xfm Music:response competitor in Dec 07, made the finals again for the 2008 INDY Music awards, and performed at the 2008 Camden Crawl.
