Les Insoumises

Photo par Audrée Brunet Nichole Cicchillitti is the transactivist brain behind Baby Jane , a Montreal band who was once known as Sugar Coma , and she is about to drop a solo album, that is as lyrically personnal, as it is adventurous musically. We thought it was the perfect timing to send some questions to this beautiful and flamboyant artist, to learn more about her story, her struggles and where she comes from. Enjoy! --------- First and foremost, thanks a lot for taking the time to share with us, it is very much appreciated. So how are you? I guess it's fair to say 2020 took everyone by surprise with this world wide pandemic. What's been the hardest part for you during the lockdown and how did you make up for it? NC: The hardest part of lockdown for me personally was I had been dealing with addiction, depression as well as trying to get my hrt treatment started. I was trying hard to surface and get things lined up so I could heal and finally face issues that I had been weig...

1- Where is the band from and what's the best thing to do there? We're from Houston, Texas. There's not a whole lot to do here outside of drinking, but we do have some cool stuff to see. Before this religious nut burned down the building, we had one of the coolest shops here called The Wilde Collection.

We have dog friendly bars and cabaret nights. There’s a huge DIY feel to everything, which makes it all very inviting. You can also drive an hour up to the North coast and bring your hiking boots or hire yourself a surfboard. Unfortunately we’re all still in the midst of a pandemic right now, so we can’t do most of this at the moment! 2- What does your name stand for and what was the runner up? Alanah: A lot of people assume that it’s in reference to problem patterns in society, human behaviour, etc. It was actually a joke Bethany made about our questionable dress sense! We all love a pattern. We didn’t have a runner up. We...
