“20 Questions With Verbicide” is an interview series in which an artist is handed a list of more than 100 questions and they select 20 from the list they would like to answer.

Duo Victoria+Jean (she on vocals and he on guitar, respectively) recently played SXSW 2016 in Austin, Texas before returning to Europe for several dates in Belgium and the UK. The pair will be releasing a new album, Divine Love, on April 29, 2016 via Cadence Music. Victoria took some time out of her schedule to answer 20 Questions With Verbicide.

What’s the best or most memorable venue you’ve ever played?

L’Olympia in Paris (Edith Piaf was there, the Rolling Stones, Gainsbourg, to name a few).

New Zealand, because I want to catch the landscapes in The Lord of the Rings. It’s beautiful over there.
