Hello, we are Gamine, would you like to see our new Super 8 film? It's for a song called 'Motet', which is from our lovely new album, 'You Can Cry (And Other Lullabies)'. You just have to press play...

And here's our other Super 8 masterpiece from the album, 'The Sky's Eyes'...

And you can still see our clip for 'Oh, mon chéri!' which is on our lovely album, 'Sabotage'...

HELLO EVERYONE

Are you all excited by the prospect of a brand new Gamine album? Of course you are! Yes, our new album, "YOU CAN CRY (AND OTHER LULLABIES)" is finally released on CD (distribution is by Shellshock, for those who need to know this type of thing), and you can even buy it from our own website, http://www.gamine.net/youcancry.html, should you so wish.

Some of you may also wish to add to your Gamine collection with a copy of our MARVELLOUS ALBUM, 'SABOTAGE', which you cannot, for love nor money, find in the town you call home. Well, we have a solution: you can BUY IT ONLINE here at www.theflowershoprecordings-online.com

And you can download both albums by visiting our Bandcamp page (click on the little button below), or on the players to the left, where you can also play both albums. Feel free to share them too, on your blogs, MySpace pages, Facebook and anywhere else you feel like.

And if you're feeling in the mood for extra Gamine, why not visit us at www.last.fm/music/Gamine/Sabotage where you can download some free tracks, or find us on Facebook (where we're sure you'll all be sharing your wonderful discovery with all your friends, even those you haven't seen since you were at school together back in the sixties or whenever, and are unlikely to see ever again)?

And finally, if you want to chat to your fellow connoisseurs of fine music, there is a GAMINE GROUP! Yes, we are happy to announce our approval of a group that has been founded in our name by one of our lovely friends. You can find it here, at "Distingués Lovers of Gamine". Feel free to join and add your two penn'orth / two cents / euros / yen / kroner etc. We would like to point out that mindless adulation of your heroes is not obligatory (as we could easily become even more big-headed than we are already) and that all interesting discussions (in any language) are welcome.
