Joan As Police Woman is about to celebrate the 20th anniversary of her debut album with Real Life Evolution...new versions of old songs, re-imagined and re-recorded.

The 13th Floor's Marty Duda spoke to Joan, who was home in New York City, about how and why she decided to re-make Real Life, including recording one track in New Zealand with Iggy Pop. Joan talks about joining Iggy's band, her upcoming shows at Joe's Pub and the joy of creating something from nothing.
