about anne

 

For those who doubted...

 

Anne Pigalle grew up in Paris in the middle of the Punk scene.
She moved to London and collaborated musically with diverse talents such as : Adrian Sherwood (an EP“ Hot sagas” with Nick Plytas ), Michael Nyman (The “original” Kiss for Channel 4), Trevor Horn (“Everything could be so perfect” ztt records), etc…

She has been photographed by Lord Snowdon, Nick Knight, Mario Testino.
She was also behind the creation of “The Wednesday Nights at the Café de Paris”, one of London 's most successful club night and produced songs for Japanese commercials,representing Isetan, JP Gaulltierand co. Having pionieered the invention of a new european woman : post feminist, post punk, slightly emotional, but still in control, Anne left London for L.A. at the beginning of the nineties where she met the late Donald Cammell and got him interested in her screenplay. She has appeared in Zalman King red shoe diaries, (always decent), and performed for the homeless, in downtown LA, and got involved in a theatre production about Bukowski where she played Death. She was voted 5th best live performer of the year by KCRW Santa Monica radio.

Currently back in London, she has been working on her autobiographic film, photographic and painting work, which has proven very successful. The exhibition of her amerotic self-portraits painted polaroids"Amerotica" at the Michael Hoppen gallery was voted 4th best in The Times . Along with her amerotic salons ( that she performed at the Colony room and atGlastonbury ), she has never stopped singing, writing and witnessing; A new limited edition CD, partly experimental, co-produced with T.D.S. came out of this period titled "Amerotica"

In 2007, she followed her original club idea and created a new night at the Grill Room at the Cafe Royal called "spirit of ecstasy", the music was a mix of electro and french oldies, the cabaret was london's premier bohemien scene.

In 2009 and 2010, Anne was invited to perform her new songs at prestigious festivals in Mexico and Timbuktu, Mali in Africa, where she saw herself becoming an kind of ambassador for a better world and succeded where other have failed.

She's an honorary member of the College of Pataphysics and is occasionally seen walking by the river…
