“Gitane’s unique voice moves effortlessly from innocence to torrid sensuality, from seduction to bitterly defiant survival.” – Althea Morin, Seconds Magazine
“Bluesy but experimental, warm, sinister… Madonna would love to be as intriguing as Gitane Demone.” – Organ Magazine, UK
“Chanteuse de gloom and kink Gitane Demone trick ‘O’ treats the new generation of throckers to her ethereal vocalizations. An Avant-Gardist, her roots in free jazz spill into everything.” – Ron Athey, LA Weekly
Synopsis
Regarded by journalists as “Madonna’s naughtier underground cousin” for her blond bombshell looks and penchant for erotic/fetish dress and lyricism. Gitane Demone has always been acclaimed worldwide for her stylistic, jazzy vocals and songwriting skills. After leaving the group Christian Death in 1989 Gitane pursued her own career. This rare footage (1989-1998) featured on Gitane’s first official DVD release, covers live concerts throughout Europe, fetish performances for DeMask and Skin Two, Television Interviews, and live duets with long-time collaborator Rozz Williams (Christian Death).
