Have You Heard: Simi Lacroix

Answered by: Josh Coxon

When did you start making music and why? Simi Lacroix began early last year as a way for me to compensate for what I saw as a lack of fun and frivolity in my life and the lives of others.

Sum up your musical sound in four words? Shiny, lush, creamy, ecstatic.

If you could only listen to one album forevermore, what would it be and why? Tough question but I'd probably go with Steely Dan's Aja. That album has had a profound effect on my life. More importantly it's simply brilliant songwriting and musicality — a real renaissance album. 

Greatest rock'n'roll moment of your career to date? I don't really have one, yet. There was a bit of an "I'm not worthy" scenario backstage when I supported Neon Indian — nice fella!

Why should people come and see your band? Because it's different to anything else going on around town and we all know variety is the spice of nice.

When and where for your next gig? 12 May at The Foundry. Its a free event celebrating Fortitude Valley retail institution I-Life Factory.
