This four-piece pop-o-rama of sound from Cincinnati, Ohio, isn't afraid to be uncompromisingly hook-full. They pick through the trash heap of pop (i.e., ABBA, Kiss, Cheap Trick, New York Dolls, Shangri-Las) and kneel at rock's icons (punk, new wave, garage, and noise) to create a Frankensteinian musical delight. Stitched together, if you will, a rock monster that just might blow your whole goddamned world apart. Comparisons of Pixies / Cheap Trick / Clash occur, but don't show up on their sleeves. They are their own.

Tigerlilies Pat Hennessy and Brian Driscoll put in time with the garage noise kings ChromeCranks who have since hauled ass to NYC and greener pastures. Denny Brown guitared with The Mortals, of Estrus Records fame, blowing minds and amps at Garageshock before disintegration. Drummer Steve Hennessy played on the Candy Snatchers' vocalist side-project The Cover Girls. The Tigerlilies have supported Helium, Superchunk, Joan Jett, Laughing Hyenas, Scrawl, Guided By Voices, and The Reverend Horton Heat.
