Who created Lederhosen Lucil? Und who is Krista Muir?

Montreal resident Krista Muir has been composing, recording and touring her original music locally and internationally for over 12 years.

As "Lederhosen Lucil" Krista released a number of independent singles and two full-length albums on her "hypo records" bedroom label. Her second album "Tales From The Pantry" ranked high on Canadian indie charts and became one of Earshots Top 50 albums of 2003. Immediately following its release, Lucil toured North America and Europe with friend and co-conspirator DJ Kid Koala. After the release of her Apricota single in 2004, she spent much of 2005 as Lucil on tour throughout Australia, New Zealand, Texas, and Europe.

In March 2006 Krista became a published author with the release of a full-colour art book exploring the eight eye candy filled years of Lederhosen Lucil entitled "The Joy of Hosen: Lederhosen Lucil Up Close und Pictorial" published by Mudscout Media.

While on tour in Europe Krista fell in love with the baritone ukulele and composed a whole new body of creative work that she recorded with The Fembots and Shane Watt. "Leave Alight" led to "Accidental Railway."

Most recently Krista returned to school to the world of graphic design and printing. Full time studying didn't keep her busy enough in 2010 so she decided to produce, engineer, perform on, mix and create the artwork for her 5th full-length album "Between Atoms." This album was sparked by a commissioned song for Greek painter Stefanos Rokos.

Muir currently resides in Montreal and is seeking a producer and co-conspirators for a music video cooking show.
