[edit] Short biography
The French band Sibyl Vane is based in Pau since 2003 and its name is based on the suicidal fiancée of Dorian Gray in the Oscar Wilde masterpiece... an appropriate choice, knowing the band shares with the Irish writer a certain taste for decadence and representation. On stage, dramatic performance, images and movies help to turn their shows into real artistic performances. The visual aspect is very developed in Sibyl Vane's music, which is rather oppressing most of time..
Their first recording attempt, "Pret-a-porter" was released in late 2002 as a demo CD-r, a few months before its official release as an e.p.
In October 2005, the band finally released its debut album "Paradoxes" on Jerkov label.
In 2006 the band recorded a David Bowie's "I'm Deranged" cover for the Chicago based label FTC Records. The compilation entitled "2. Contamination" includes bands such as Arcade Fire, The Dresden Dolls, David J. (Bauhaus)...
Sibyl Vane's new album entitled "The Locked Suitcase" is due to be release in march / April 2008. This album was recorded in France and mixed at the Hotel2Tango, Montréal by Howard Bilerman (Arcade Fire, A Silver Mt. Zion).
Renowned artists such as Mike Garson (David Bowie's amazing pianist) and Lydia Lunch have collaborated with the band and will appear on the album...
Sibyl Vane played with Dominique A., Ulan Bator, Tahiti 80, Enfance Rouge, Calc, etc...
