Ltd Edition Joe Doe ‘Lutetia’ Bass Guitar by Vintage 2023
£599.00
In 2003 Lutetia was invited to the Prix de la Culture ceremony to receive an award for her contributions to French music, but her expletive-ridden acceptance speech meant the honour was quickly retracted (and regretted) by the event organisers.

Description
The Story
Punk bass player and visionary artiste Lutetia Seydoux is Anti-establishment, Anti-fascist and some would say Anti-music judging by “Salut”, her 38-second song of ear-piercing screams accompanied by the smashing of Limoges 19th century fine china. You find her music challenging? Well that’s the point, because the world needs people like Lutetia Seydoux; otherwise, rules are never broken and boundaries are never pushed. The best example of Lutetia’s avant-garde approach to music was during her one-woman show at the Alores Club, Paris, in December 1987. Lutetia turned the gig on its head by throwing her bass guitar into the crowd and demanding that they should perform to her. A riot ensued, multiple arrests were made, and Lutetia felt satisfied that an important piece of performance art had been created.
