About Chic Gamine

By complete coincidence, the group is composed of the 5 “A’s”: singers Ariane Jean, Andrina Turenne, Alexa Dirks, Annick Brémault and drummer and percussionist Alexandre Sacha Daoud. Over the years, its members have been integral parts of a multitude of projects having garnered critical success.

With a solo percussionist as their main musical support, Chic Gamine use their voices as instruments, effortlessly launching into intricate string arrangements, bass-heavy rhythm sections and lush harmonies. These multifariously talented songwriters create a sound that resonates with soul, passion and an unabashedly random and sometimes downright peculiar brand of humour that reels audiences in and leaves them begging for more. Performance highlights include The Winnipeg Folk Festival, The California Strawberry Festival, The California World Fest and opening for the legendary Smokey Robinson at The Festival at Sandpoint, Idaho.

Chic Gamine’s debut self-titled album, comprised of twelve original tracks, was released independently in June of 2008 and is available through www.cdbaby.com and other select retail locations, to be found through the boutique section

Biographie – Chic Gamine

Chic Gamine se compose tout à fait par hasard des 5 « A » : les chanteuses Ariane Jean, Andrina Turenne, Alexa Dirks, Annick Brémault et le batteur/percussionniste Alexandre Sacha Daoud. Ces anciens membres des formations musicales little boy boom, Gaïa et Madrigaïa se sont produits sur les scènes locales, nationales et internationales.

En Chic Gamine, le jeu de l’harmonie à quatre voix est redéfini et rafraîchi; la percussion est leur unique support musical et leurs voix sont les instruments qui volent du pizzicato des cordes, aux tons bourdonnants et rythmés de la basse ou encore aux élans des choeurs Gospel des années 50 et 60. Ces fabricants de chansons créent ensemble une musique et un spectacle rempli de « soul », de passion et d’un humour rieur et imprévisible. Leur feuille de route comprend des prestations au California World Music Festival, au California Strawberry Folk Music Festival, au Festival Folk de Winnipeg et un spectacle en première partie de l’étoile de Motown, le légendaire Smokey Robinson, au Festival at Sandpoint, Idaho.

Lancé en juin 2008, le premier disque éponyme de Chic Gamine est composé de douze plages originales. Le disque est disponible au www.cdbaby.com et dans certains magasins à travers le Québec et le Canada. La liste complète de ces magasins se retrouve au www.chicgamine.com.
