hort biography

The French band Sibyl Vane is based in Pau since 2003. They take their name from a character in Oscar Wilde's novel "The Portrait of Dorian Gray". They incorporate performance art into their stage shows.

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 EP.

In October 2005, the band released its debut album, "Paradoxes", on the Jerkov label.

In 2006 the band recorded a cover version of David Bowie's "I'm Deranged" for the Chicago-based label FTC Records. The compilation entitled "2. Contamination" includes bands such as Arcade Fire, The Dresden Dolls, and David J.

Sibyl Vane's new album, "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). Artists such as Mike Garson and Lydia Lunch have collaborated with the band and will appear on the album.

Sibyl Vane played with artists such as Dominique A., Ulan Bator, Tahiti 80, and Calc.
