Who are we chatting to and what do you do in the band? I’m Seri Vida and it’s my band. I play rhythm guitar and lead vocals and I write the majority of the songs. I also promote the band, pose for photos and remember to bring beers to every rehearsal so I’m kind of a big deal.
What do you love about making music? I love that feeling of a new song coming together and growing from a simple idea to a fully fleshed out piece of music. Being in the room with my bandmates and feeling that initial idea come to life is the best part. Playing live with a fun crowd is a close second.
What inspires your music most? Our songs are quite personal and the songwriting is largely inspired by my own life, love, pain, heartbreak and the occasional run-in with the law.
What can a punter expect from your live show? Lots of energy, a good amount of noisy guitar and a driving rhythm section. Let’s not forget that I’m up front belting out the tunes and being as charismatic as a cult leader.
What’ve you got to sell CD-wise? We will have both albums To Be Free and The Wait available on the night and of course we will bring plenty of copies of the new EP Bright Future so no one has to miss out on taking a little piece of us home.
