Black Box

Winter 1983, Hollywood California, the second incarnation of Rozz Williams band Christian Death begins rehearsal for a European tour and new album, Catastrophe Ballet. Heralding the American gothic / deathrock movements, this album is still considered an influential and ground breaking masterpiece. And in the background, an unknown bass player, Constance, was pulled in at the last minute, little knowing the epic journey she was about to undertake. Seven long months later, penniless with only her camera, guitar and a suitcase, she was left abandoned in Paris, broke, emotionally bankrupt and heartbroken. This is the cautionary story of a young girl, a black box from a crashed dream and the restless remains she kept hidden under her bed for 35 years. The result is a detailed and utterly fascinating story; a snapshot in time. It is written with style, substance and an intensely personal voice, with unseen photographs and behind the scenes observations. Life on the road writ large
