Her Japan fan (or Jay-pan fan as she pronounced it) was what June Carter-Cash told husband Johnny she’d be waiting behind when he finds her in Jackson, the place they both plan to flee to when their relationship crumbles, as told in the song of that city’s name.
And that's the story behind the name of Brisbane's phonetically conscious four-piece J-Pan Fan.
The band formed in May 2008 after front-woman Emma Carton returned after two years abroad in the UK playing solo shows. It was there that she met Johnny, of Vanlustbader fame and he along with Rob formerly of Manual, and Peter Heywood from Bulldozer complete the band's roster.
Despite being a misfit troupe of band refugees J-Pan Fan possess a sound that is tight and well-honed. They play a brand of gritty guitar-pop that has earned them spots at Massive Sounds Festival, 4ZzZ Side Show Alley, Fete de la Musique and support for Final Days of Autumn at The Zoo.
