20 Questions With Michael David of Classixx

Pitchfork describes them as, “Gorgeously pillowy synth-disco,”
we generally refer to them as “ooh la la”, and we can’t count how many times we’ve said, “I only like the Classixx remix”.  Classixx will be playing at Wrongbar on March 13th as part of Wrongbar Satrudays, and Le Belmont in Montreal on the 12th, but before that, Michael David, one half of the duo was nice enought to answer our 20 questions.
