A collection of CHRISTEENE music videos.
CHRISTEENE.org
CHRISTEENE is a human pissoir of raw unabashed sexuality; a gender-blending, booty-pounding, perversion of punk fully equipped with an arsenal of ferocious music intertwined with raw moments of strained intimacy and fiery stank.
Reports from live shows describe CHRISTEENE appearing alongside two sexually distinct 'Backup Boyz' (T Gravel and C Baby), macabre scenes involving butt plugs tied to bouquets of balloons being released from CHRISTEENE's arse, intimate and bizarre confessionals, wardrobes styled from the forgotten scraps of society, and heated communication on the state of the world as we know it.
CHRISTEENE is also accompanied by a highly stylized collection of music videos released through the performer's longtime collaborative efforts with award winning filmmaker and cinematographer, PJ Raval.
The duo's music videos have been showcased in the film festivals: South by Southwest, NYC Rooftop Films, Paris Gay and Lesbian Film Festival, CFMDC’s Queer City Cinema’s Tour “Wide Open Wide”, Homo-a-go-go, Prince George Lesbian and Gay Film Festival, Regina Gay and Lesbian Film Festival, the International Short Film Festival/ Detmold, and the Denver Film Festival…to name a few.
It should be noted that CHRISTEENE’s music, media and live shows have cast an unprecedented net over a demographic including married men, dykes, queers, single women, bears, faeries, academics, motor hogs, pastors, and people of the medical profession; clearly signifying a rapidly growing pandemic on popular culture as we know it.
PRESS QUOTES:

"What a fucking awesome hip hop, Beyonce, Evil Dead, queercore, unapologetic, sick show… KILL FOR A TICKET!’ Boy George
‘Like Beyonce on bath salts.’ Now Magazine
‘Like some manic combination of Alice Cooper and Hedwig (of the Angry Inch).’ Spin Magazine
"Christeene...has famously seduced and outraged in equal measure an unforgettable career across the U.S.A., leaving broken hearts, devoted followers, and used bodies behind her" Dangerous Minds
"CHRISTEENE's is a world of haz-mat glamour, somewhere at the point where Lil Kim and Leigh Bowery might agree on a pair of boots." Terry Sawyer. The Austinist
"Christeene...spins it on its head, beats it with a stick, drags it through the mud—and comes through the ordeal with fabulous performance art in tow." - Frontiers Magazine
"a free-for-all of influences, stitching blaxploitation femininity to the kind of d.i.y. queer celebration that made The Cockettes the toast of San Francisco."
Terry Sawyer. The Austinist
"The radical social critique in Christeene’s performance ultimately addresses the same hegemonic system that sterilized perceptions of drag culture and queerness in the first place—the indiscriminate consumption of mass culture that Christeene, a sort of collective Picture of Dorian Gray, emerges from and also lays to waste."
Chelsea Weathers. Art Lies.
"The calculated quality of Christeene’s execution convinces audience members that she respects them; she is not playing a trick on them or insulting their intelligence by choosing to play a character who seems to have the speech development of a fourth grader." Chelsea Weathers. Art Lies.
