Original line-up: Rozz Williams - founder; James McGearthy - bass; Jay - guitar; George Belanger - drums.
    • Formed in 1979, Pomona, Ca. as a punk band by Rozz Williams. Rik Agnew replaced Jay early on. Visually a combination of cross-dressing, drugs and satanism. After releasing one album, Rozz lost interest in the band and a new line-up, based on local band Pompeii 99 arose. Years later Rozz formed a new Christian Death, with both bands touring at the same time.

      Founded on punk lines in 1979 in Pomona, CA, USA by Rozz Williams (Roger Painter) who died on 01.04.1998 with original line-up of James McCarthy (bass), Jay (guitar), George Belanger (drums). Rik Agnew replaced Jay in 1981? First album in 1982, in 1983 they either 'relocated' to Europe or run out of money to get home after touring. From 1984 onwards the band began going through a series of line-up changes, many of whom had been in another local band, Pompeii 99. Either way Gitane Demone stays in the Netherlands for 8 years. Has featured William Faith. Early to mid 80's featured Todd Williams who was also drummer on Rozz Williams European Tour 1994, and has worked with Gitane Demone.

    • A week before the 1998 European tour Steve the drummer attempted suicide while Flick was in jail for narcotics offences and sex with under-aged girls. Bishop of Hildesheim (Germany) ensured social authorities were at every show (so Yåål, 5-year-old keyboard player, junior lead vocalist, couldn't perform). Quintet at this point. Fernando was on drums, Wym was on guitar. Rafael Garcia Hernandez mixed Pornographic Messiah in Mexico. Played bass since school in Holland, met Kota (bass player of Christian Death) in London. When he couldn't come to England anymore she replaced him. Maitri likes opera, classical, rock, metal, etcetera but not rap. Have recently used ambient synths/samples, tribal drums, techno-industrial, disco-industrial, industrial-hardcore, avant-garde ambient, classical influences, choral, death rock.

    • releases: Only Theater of Pain (1984); Sex and Drugs and Jesus Christ; Pornographic Messiah; Born Again Anti Christian (2000).
