Have You Heard: Seri Vida

Answered by: Seri Vida

When did you start making music and why? I started playing in bands in high school and nothing else matched the feeling of performing with my friends on stage and getting the audience into it. I haven't looked back since.

Sum up your musical sound in four words? Rhythm, melody, adoration, angst.

If you could only listen to one album forevermore, what would it be and why? Michael Jackson's Thriller — it's one of the first albums I loved and the Quincy Jones/Michael Jackson studio partnership is something to behold. As a singer, naturally MJ's vocal delivery is so inspiring and iconic.

Greatest rock'n'roll moment of your career to date? The album launch last year at Ding Dong Lounge was amazing, we really got to let loose and bring the songs to life. Playing to a sold-out crowd at Northcote Social Club for a PJ Harvey tribute was very rock'n'roll.

Why should people come and see your band? If you haven't already, what are you doing with your life? It's 2017 for Christ's sake! Go see Seri Vida!

When and where are your next gigs? 21 Jan at The Brunswick Hotel. We're playing two sets in the beer garden from 5pm. It's free!
