Montréal musician Geoffroy brought the Good Boy tour to the Hollywood Theatre on September 21 in support of his latest album of the same name. A deluxe edition of the record was released on September 13, alongside a music video for the new single, “No Calls Before Noon.” The Peak had the pleasure of having a quick chat with Geoffroy about the tour, his musical influences, and the deluxe edition of Good Boy.
“I listen to all kinds of music,” he told The Peak, noting everything “from samba to Afrobeat to country.” As long as there’s “something original” to a song, Geoffroy resonates with it. He credits Graceland by Paul Simon as his “most influential album.”
Geoffroy sees his “No Calls Before Noon” music video as a sort of travel diary. “I was travelling through Vietnam and Thailand with my girlfriend Alex at the beginning of this year. She had a Super 8 film camera and a Sony FX3,” he stated, as the music video included “glimpses” from their trip. “She’s a photographer and I love the way she sees portraits and things that I often don’t notice.” It’s a testament to the charmingly collaborative effort of two different art forms being tied together.
The deluxe edition of Good Boy has a different cover, three new tracks, and has different musical pacing to it. Geoffroy emphasized that he’s “happy it’s finally all out and [he] can start thinking about what will come next.”
“Touring and playing shows is one of the most important things I feel. People can put a face and a personality to the music. The music hits different when it’s live, it just does,” Geoffroy noted. “I love being out on the road playing shows. It’s a combination of my two favourite things. It also feels good to play these new songs for the first time here in BC and Alberta.”
