SNOB SHOP

Snob Shop began with a little creative vandalism: blacking out the letters “w” and “oard” on a Snowboard Shop baseball cap. The name stuck, first becoming my band name, then my independent record label, and eventually the production company for my feature films.

Along the way, I adopted a succession of other names: Laura Borealis, my grandfather’s nickname for me; Crappo (Chicago), a band name suggested by Steve Albini, which unfortunately encouraged the mispronunciation of my last name that most people already favour; Crappo2 (Toronto); Le Look (Montreal); and Very Hot Songs (Paris/Montreal).

In hindsight, it might have been easier if I’d just stuck with Snob Shop.
