These girls are SMOKIN!!! And I personally find them really damn catchy... perfect summertime music. Thier CD somes out on May 27th and they're my guess for a "next big thing."
(http://www.atlantavirtuosi.org/vcmb/lillix.jpg)
A quick Bio from their website:
Six years since picking up instruments for the first time, Lillix is set to strike American audiences with their rambunctious, pop-infused rock and roll on Falling Uphill, the band's Maverick Records debut. With a lead vocal triple threat made up of guitarist Tasha-Ray Evin (17), older sister and keyboardist Lacey-Lee Evin (19), and bassist Louise Burns (17), as well as an accomplished drummer in recent addition Kim Urhahn (23), this Canadian band has a well-cultivated musical vision.
Armed with influences running the gamut from Queen to Weezer and the Beatles to Radiohead, Lillix set up shop in the Evins' basement while still in the 7th grade, and started belting out rock-edged pop tunes written and played by their own hands and own instruments.

glad you found a new group you like! Sorry but I will be buying SOMETHING else on May 13th! ;)
-
I actually heard one of their singles on Kiss Kombat the other night. It was pretty catchy and had a good sound. It kind of reminded me of Avril Lavigne-type stuff, but eh LOL. Catchy enough for me to download within the next two days, which is impressive, considering how uber-lazy I am when it comes to going, finding, and downloading new music :wink:. I may have to see if I can find any more of their stuff.

-
Dayum!
-
Lillix is also from my home province, British Columbia :D
KIIS-FM Los Angeles recently started playing them, and they have even made it to JoJo's Top 9 and Carson Daly's Most Requested (the customized KIIS version, that is).

Cool chicks, nice music!!!!
I haven't heard them yet on Kiis! but thanks Jason!
I need to get their song :wink:
edit: man, this song is CATCHY!!!! 8)
-
Yeah.. I'm so glad I lucked onto them... I've had such a great time finding out more about them form their management and all.. their board is kinda packed with some oldies form another band it looks like so it's hard to move in there(aka first thread I read was about one of them thinking the were pregnant....hmm.... an o-board already). But they do have a Street Team... and have been in a lot of the mags already...
I think they could really get out there... thank for letting me know about their airplay :)
and hey.. hot girls with musical talent... works for me...
-

You betcha! :wink:

Well hopefully Maverick will promote them better than they did justincase.
But do we really need more stuff that sounds like Avril? *runs away*
-
run faster... ;)
-
I really like "It's About Time".
-
I'm working at grabbing some Live acoustic performances.. so hopefully I'll have some more Lillix for everyone soon...
Songs called:
Tomorrow & Quicksand
-
Well hopefully Maverick will promote them better than they did justincase.

Hmm, JoJo of KIIS-FM also said they sounded almost exactly like Avril Lavigne, but when I listened to it, I didn't think so...
Daniel

That's a pretty unfair comparison...
Band of multiple girls singing tight harmonies and changing leads so that you have different vocal characteristincs throughout the songs...
vs.
single girl singing by herself...
kinda like apples and oranges think...

Exactly. And even if you tried to isolate any one of their voices, I still don't think any of them sound like Avril.
-
Is it just me, or does the one on the right look like a cross between Shakira and Natalie Maines?
Blah...it's not my thing...they're like Maverick's version of the Donnas...I don't like them either.
-
And you honestly don't think the lead singer girl sounds like Avril? 8O
-
Sorry Tricia... I don't hear it.. I also have heard the other MP3's now so I'm biased... I'll get them up ASAP...
-
LOL...wow...I hella think she sounds like Avril.
*listens again*
I still hear it
-
Here are the live acoustics... keep in mind they're not the best recordings.. from what I saw... VH1 put them in really dead room with 1 mic for all of them and their instruments and said here play something.. I did my best to get good quality caps...
Lillix - Tomorrow (Live VH1 Acoustic) (http://www.atlantavirtuosi.org/lillix/lillix_tomorrow_live_vh1_acoustic.mp3)
Lillix - Quicksand (Live VH1 Acoustic) (http://www.atlantavirtuosi.org/lillix/lillix_quicksand_live_vh1_acoustic.mp3)
-
I gave em a listen. I must agree, I hear a lot of Avril in there. But thats not nessisiarily a bad thing. But just means I need to hear more studio tracks before making a final determination.
And the two sisters.... hotties! I cant tell which I like better.
Thanks for the headsup Jason! :)
-Kev
-
OK OK... confession time... since I don't "really" listen to any avril... i guess i really can't shoot down the comparison...
but they switch leads if not within the songs then definitley between songs... so sadly what your saying is they all sound like Avril? :(
FYI... Tomorrow and Quicksand have different girls singing (Tomorrow is Tahsa, Quicksand is Louise)... and It's About Time switches between them...
-
Hummm...sounding like Avril or not, that is the question!
In my opinion, I don't think they sound like Avril. (and I've listened to a LOT of Avril!)
For some reason, I have the feeling that their music is more elaborated, I don't know why...
I'm gonna have to hear the rest of the album to be fair 8)
-
"The Matrix" (production team) produced some of their songs, I think... and they worked w/ Avril on her record.
Personally not diggin' their sound, but that's just me :)
jess
-
Thanks for the acoustics! :)
-Brian
-
Thanks :)
Lillix is #9 on Carson Daly's Most Requested on KIIS-FM Los Angeles tonight. It didn't make JoJo's Top 9 though.
Daniel
-
Well.. I'm glad they're getting some play time.. I really do like their sound... I know it doesn't fit everyone but I'm a sucker for happy pop. (and pretty faces???) :)
anyone here signed up for their backstage team over on their site? if so could I drop your name? I'm trying to get an "in" with their site manager over there and maybe get some pre release hook ups...
Never pass up good opportunities to support ont he ground floor i guess.. lol
-
Jason,
Yep... I joined it, as highwaycruiser. :)
They are still doing well on KIIS-FM and make it to JoJo's Top 9 at 9 and Carson Daly's most requested every night now. For the first time, they've made it on the CHR/Pop chart as well, as a "New & Active" song.
Their song was played 626 times on 62 radio stations last week!
Daniel
-
That is very good Daniel, thanks for the numbers :)
-Brian
-
hmmm.. Ithink I only scooped BLENDER by a week... and they stole my damn headline the bitches!!!

Nice scan! :)
-Brian

Lillix dropped by the KIIS-FM studio tonight for a mini-instudio session (there were no guests). Unfortunately the phone lines at KIIS were out of commission, so listeners had to e-mail in questions for Lillix. A full in-studio is being planned for a future date.
The big news for tonight: They will be performing at Wango Tango 2003!
Daniel
-
That is cool :) ... It is a step in the right direction ;)
-Brian
-
But then theres the REAL problem... their songs SUCK! :twisted:
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

The Girls have been going for a big showing on TRL this week. and after getting thier shot on Wednesday, they went straight to "wannabe" on Thursday and broke into TRL on Friday at 10.
If anyone is so inclined to help me support them. Their team has set up an easy vote page kinda like the one kev setup for Pretty Baby.
http://www.hypecouncil.net/lillix/
Feel free to drop by and cast some votes... they even give away prizes for voting so, hey, you get get some stuff out of it too...
-
Yep, I'm part of that Hypecouncil thingy :)
And also, last week they entered the R&R CHR/Pop chart at #50!
Daniel
-
Jason I won tickets to the show - the one with the lillix - i have 6 tickets - and i have at least one with your name on it - let me know --i know your phone has been um - out of service but i tried calling a bunch of times....
call me at work! xoxo - Steph
-
LMAO...this weeks EW ripped their single...I think they got a C+...when I get home I'll type up what they said.
-
A Wango Tango update...
I heard JoJo of KIIS-FM say that Lillix will NOT be on the main stage at Wango Tango.
Instead, they will be performing near the doors to the Rose Bowl at Wango Village sometime before WT takes place...
Just in case you were planning to go to Wango Tango to see them! :)
Daniel
-
Lillix - "It's About Time"
It's also about sticking to a stunningly successful formula. The Matrix (the canny producers behind Avril Lavigne) and these for Canadian girls have crafted a tune that is so similar to Lavigne's "Complicated" you'd bet the farm you've already heard it. Catchy? Yeah. Original? Not a chance. C+
-
Ouch, that one stings. LOL
-Brian
-
True dat
-
But hey, if the critics were always right, half of the songs and half of the artists we like would be garbage and 50 Cent would be king of all the kings. LOL
-Brian
-
I saw this video today... my god...... I just want to throw in the towel musically after watching an episode of TRL. it's really sad what sells and what is popular these days.
Anyway, these girls are hot and all, but I'm sorry, the song is lame. Super cheesy lyrics... and my husband from the other room was like "Is that Avril??"
sad.....
jessica
-
Aww...this is why I <3 Jess
-
im just gonna go ahead and throw in another "they suck" just for good measure :wink:
---Andrew
-
Well... you know what... they could remake every single damn Avril La-fucknut song and I would still choose them anyday. At least the music would be coming from 4 girls with pleasant personalities than some whiney bitch who has some serious growing up to do.
-
LOL :) Jason, don't get mad ;)
They have more emotion than Lavigne, so I'll give 'em that. Heheh
:)

The day they spout off about being punk is the day I know it's all over. I don't dig the music, but there's nothing against them as a band...yet. Avril wasn't bad at first either. Then she's all "Blah...I'm punk...I'm hardcore...I'm so cool" As long as they don't do that, they should be ok.
-
IMHO, NONE of the bands out right now that are calling themselves "punk" or being labeled as punk, really are......
Avril didn't bother me at first either, but I think because her songs were totally overplayed I got really sick of her really fast...
jess
-
Oh really? None of them, hu? So, for example, Brand New... they aren't punk? Or what about the Transplants? Tim Armstrong? he's not punk? Face to Face? Are they punk?
I think what you MEANT to say is that none of the bands being played on MTV that call themselves punk are punk. Even that is arguable.. there's a fine line between punk and Indy rock.

Andrew if you start arguing about those poor people who can't sing in tune in my thread I'm going to have it locked... :P

laughing at andrew and jason --- i remember having this conversation in person before - laughing my ass off!!!!
-
Yes, Andrew, I meant on MTV, sorry that I forgot that detail... and I'd like to hear any that you think do fall into that category.
Thanks! :)
jessica
-
Jess,
Well, like I said, there is a thinline between punk, indy rock and hardcore. Like, i dont know that I would call AFI or Thursday punk... but I would call them hardcore... which is damn near the samething. Although, i dont know if Thursday every got played on MTV.... just MTV2 maybe.
You could make a strong argument that the White Stripes and the Strokes are punk. They are HEAVILY influenced by the NY original punk bands. They are both very much in the veign of the Ramones and the sex pistols, etc.
Who knows what they call themselves though.
---Andrew
-
Did anyone buy the CD when it came out, and if so, how is it? :?
-
CD doesn't come out until until the 27th and as far as i know hasn't leaked ;)
-
Ah. I was just wondering because I saw a banner when I was doing the R&R numbers for Ev a few days ago that said it was out the 13th, and the first post in the thread says it is out the 13th. But thanks for the info :)
-Brian
-
yep... they bumped it the sneaks.. i forgot to edit that.. I'll go back and do it now... thanks for that!
-
Lillix is awesome! Just saw them the other day, and got a picture with 3 of the members, but only 1 (the drummer) was actually smiling at the camera, since I only asked her for a pic. I got a ton of the whole group tho! the girls of lillix are sooo nice. they were signing autographs and taking pics with everyone, it was so cool.
-
Yep, they were awesome performing on the KIIS stage at Wango Village. I took lots of pictures of them (and every other Wango Tango artist). I got my photos back from Costco last night and they all turned out really well, so that is good :) I may eventually post them in the photos section of the Wango Tango group.
Unfortunately I didn't get to meet them (I did meet JoJo and Clarence Barnes of KIIS though).

I saw them on MTV Hits today. They are a lot better with mute on.

I got it right after school. It's a great album. "Quicksand" is my fav song so far...
I saw them on TRL today, lmao they gave Justin Timberlake a bust (which is practically a dis the way trl was playing the game) it was hella funny, I was cracking up, lol
-
I finally got the cd today.
Stupid international shipping, grr!
I've just put it in the comp so you'll have to wait for my impressions! lol
-
I'm so fucking addicted to their album it's not even funny. I even had a dream that "dirty sunshine" track #4 was going to be their next single. If it is I will be freaked out.
-
I just heard them for the 1st time on TRL about half an hour ago and had to jump on to see about dling their cd!
They are such an awesome band.
edit: ok i have heard one song and i think ive found a new addiction lmao
:wink:

Oh and grrrr at all of your Avril comments :? lol j/k
OMG I get so pissed off when people compare them to Avril! (no offense, lol) I mean I like Avrils music, but they sound nothing alike! Except for their first single, since they both had the same producer. But the rest of their album sounds nothing at all like Avrils music in my opinion...plus these girls are nicer than Avril :wink: j/k Katie... :lol:
-
If its a good girl band you're looking for, check out Halo Friendlies. They're awesome. I won't comment on Lillix. Sorry.

They look like a wannabee Lillix. But I won't say anything else until I have a listen to their music.
-
Halo Friendlies first album came out in 1998...so...they were around first.

So? Does that mean they've had the same style since 1998? Chat with me in PM if you wan't about this.

Ive listened to the cd over and over and i cant pick up that they sound like Avril, i really dont think so but thats just me.
I know Avril's attitude stinks but her music is really really good.
Ppl a year ago liked her music so whats changed?
Argh ne way sorry to kinda bitch, I like Lillix music so guess thats all that counts in this thread :D
-
It was mostly the first single that got Lillix compared to Avril, similarly to how everyone thought Evanescence was Linkin Park with a female lead because of "Bring Me to Life".
In both cases, pretty much every other song on the CD is different than the inital single. I am not feeling the Lillix CD as much as I thought I would, but it isn't horrible. So-so I'd say. I should probably listen to it a bit more and see if it grows on me :?
-Brian
-
Yeh thats true Brain, haaa ive only listened to it once today but i might leave it 4 a few more days b 4 i do again because i listened to it so much.
I got it off Kazaa because I doubt that they will release it over here in the next month or so.
-

Yeah, they def. don't sound like Avril.
I know Avril's attitude stinks but her music is really really good.

Yeah, I love Avrils music (most of it) but just the way she's been rude to people, is the only thing I don't like about her, and why I hate her so much, LOL
Argh ne way sorry to kinda bitch, I like Lillix music so guess thats all that counts in this thread :D
Yeah, lol I knew Avril was going to come up sooner or later in this thread, but hey that seems to be happening alot lately, lol
-
I'm finally listening to the album.
I'm not totally sold on it, but its not bad. I could see them making it big on TRL.
I'll keep the album for sure, give it a few more listens.

Yeah, after you listen to it a few times, you'll be friggin addicted!! lol
I so hope they come to Southern California over the summer, i'd love to see them again! I only got to meet them, haven't seen them play yet.
-
yep.. the Avril comparisons i blame 100% on Matrix's producing... the 2 songs on the CD that they produced do sound very much like Avril. I hear it now that I've had a chance to listen to the whole CD a couple times. When they get to the other producers you can hear more of the girls' edgier sound come out and that's where they really get to shine...
So really I wouldn't base them solely on the Matrix produced tracks.. give the whole CD a listen...
-
Very well said Jason! 8)
I can't believe it...now they are being compared to the dixie chicks!! They have been called "the baby dixie chicks" or something like that, dang...oh well. I still like them no matter who they get compared to, Haha
I'm still waiting for my Autographed CD flat...I have to email the Eteam to find out when it's supposed to come...
-
WHOA! STOLEN GUITAR RIFF!!!
Listen to the opening of "Promises" and then listen to the opening of "3 Doors Down - Be Like That"
They're identical!
-
Hmmm, I haven't heard that 3DD song...but that is weird. *shrugs*
-
I like them a lot. I haven't many of there songs because I'm still checkin' them out but from what I've heard I've liked. Maybe when I get some money I'll buy their cd.
-
I could almost sing 'Complicated' along to 'Its about Time'. Nonetheless i do like it and some of their slower, more meaningful songs have got me hooked ( i.e 24/7). Are there any other songs like that on the album?
-

SO true! i was like waaaait a cotton pickin' minute?
-
And I guess I wont waste my time jumping to their defense since everyone is looking for reasons to tear them down.. it's sad really... you guys really just don't want to give them a chance?
Promises happens to be my fav song on their CD.. and yes i noticed the similarity... and i truly wonder how many of you jumped to vanessa defence when it was claimed she stole her riff in ATM from Aaron Copland...
So whatever... I listen... I'll be a fan...
-
Today on MTV they sang it's about time and I was really looking forward to them singing. They were good except the corus was really really bad. Someone was like wicked off tune! It was annoying. I didn't like it. But I'm sure they were just having an off day or something. I'll have to look into them more before I really make a decision of them.
-
i like their remake of what i like about you.
