Chic Gamine performs their Montreal début this February!
Montreal – After touring the continent over the last year, Winnipeg/Montreal-based Chic Gamine performs at La Tulipe on Tuesday February 10th, at 8pm. Comprised of former members of little boy boom, Gaïa and Madrigaïa, the group will showcase original songs from their self-titled debut album, released in June of 2008. Armed with their impish and sometimes downright peculiar brand of humor, these Chic Gamines possess the ability to effortlessly charm an audience… And the whole show will be liberally doused with the most total, sibylline insouciance they are becoming known for…
About Chic Gamine:
Born in 2007, Chic Gamine is made up of the 5 « A » : singers Ariane Jean, Andrina Turenne, Alexa Dirks, Annick Brémault and drummer/percussionist Alexandre Sacha Daoud.
In Chic Gamine, four-part harmony is redefined and refreshed: with a solo percussionist as their main musical support, they use their voices as instruments, effortlessly launching into intricate string arrangements, bass-heavy rhythm sections and lush harmonies, reminiscent of the 50’s and 60’s. Performance highlights include the California World Music Festival, the California Strawberry Folk Music Festival, the Winnipeg Folk Festival and being chosen to open for Motown legend, Smokey Robinson, at the Festival at Sandpoint, Idaho.
