Joanne Joanne are an all-female Duran Duran tribute band based in London, England. They have received media coverage from various sources including The Guardian and the Birmingham Mail.[1][2]

The band's initial line-up was Jo Bevan (also of Desperate Journalist) on vocals, Charley Stone (from all the bands) on lead guitar, Lolo Wood on keyboard, Jo Gate-Eastley on bass, and Mel Woods (Knifeworld/Sidi Bou Said) on drums. Val Gwyther now sings with the band. They are known for playing only material from the early career of Duran Duran, and "don't do Rio".[2][1][3]

Stone, Wood, Gate-Eastley and Woods perform original material, with Wood providing lead vocals, as MX Tyrants; their first single and video was "Mutual Lucid".[4][5]
