Vocally, she's the missing link between Kathleen Hanna and Juliana Hatfield, with a wail matched only by her whisper. The Lucy Ricardo of indie rock! Nan enjoys writing songs ..s and guitar and experimenting live with a rotating cast of musicians she has coined the One Night Stands. Her EP, For Champs and Losers, Version 1, is out now on OJ. She is working on a new record.
"There’s something about watching a solo performer soundcheck a distortion pedal that makes rock fans bristle with excitement; sure there’s no band, but the set is going to kick it anyway. Nan Turner didn’t disappoint, displaying a striking amount of diversity as she moved between guitar, Casiotone, piano, and rapping (well) on the mic. Turner’s delivery echoes the sloppy charm of old Replacements and Liz Phair records. Her characters are vulnerable but ultimately empowered by whatever they’ve been through, even preferring the “strong headwind.” Songs like “Fallout” present their lyrical images like a vase that’s been dropped on the floor and swept into a box: you can’t quite make out what it is, but there pieces clearly belong to a beautiful whole."

folk-artNOW!-Konzert#8
SCHWERVON! (NY) l 17.04.09 l 21. h l Spedition / Güterbahnhof l Bremen
SCHWERVON! sind das Ehepaar Matt Roth (Gitarre) und Nan Turner (Schlagzeug). Mit ihrem rauen Rock-Minimalismus feiern sie die unvollkommenheit der Liebe, musikalisch ganz und gar in der Tradition von Bands wie Breeders, White Stripes und Pixies - mit einem Touch von Sonny & Cher.... Ihre Musik nehmen sie in ihrem voll gestopften Appartment in Manhattan auf und mischen sie auch dort, Sie waren DIY lange bevor es zu einer Marketingstrategie wurde. Die Band gilt daher auch trotz ihres eher rockigen Ansatzes neben Kimya Dawson uns Jeffrey Lewis als Pioniere des N.Y.C.-Antifolk.
Auf ihrem vierten Album “Low Blow” bewegen sich die Songs zwischen trashigen Anti-Folk und Lo-Fi-Rockfragmente.

The Ladyfest went really well. Many people moved from Bordeaux, so I don't know yet if there is going to be another one. But yes, a garden, i feel so lucky! Is it the green monkey on that picture with you?
Hey Nan, How are you? When is your next tour in Europe? I've just moved to London in a big house with a garden and lovely Spanish flatmates. It would be so great to see you here. And then I could say that I've seen Schwervon in 3 different countries! Hope you're well. xx
