Kathleen Fisher is wearing a flowing black dress. Her hair looks like it’s been dipped in polyurethane strand by strand, set to dry and given an acetate finish. It’s so black and glossy it seems to radiate its own light. She’s flanked by her faithful piano counterpart, Ron Wasserman, who writes the songs, which they perform under the collective identity (also can be called ‘band’), Fisher.
Wasserman is in fact famous for composing the Power Rangers theme tune, ‘Go Go Power Rangers’. Fisher’s music is more low key than that explosive hit. Wasserman’s sort of the understated creative agent, whereas Fisher is the heroine with the knock-out voice. Together they make as great a team as Jack Spratt and his wife.
They were also one of the most prescient bands to utilise the Net as a means of distribution, being named one of the biggest internet bands by Time Magazine way back in 2000. They hit number 36 in the Billboard Adult Top 40 chart with ‘I Will Love You’. At the time it was the most downloaded song in history.
But the most phenomenal thing is Fisher’s voice. It is the kind of voice that has a physical presence that you can almost feel brushing past you.
