Lillix
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.
Lillix hooked up with an impressive list of producers to shape the sound of Falling Uphill, including the Matrix (Avril Lavigne), Philip Steir (No Doubt), former 4-Non Blonde Linda Perry (Pink, Christina Aguilera), John Shanks (The Corrs, Michelle Branch) and the omnipotent Glen Ballard on "24/7. " The band has also had major exposure by performing the theme song for the WB show “What I Like About You” .
The band’s first single “It’s About Time” will be hitting the airwaves at Top 40 and Modern AC radio this March, with an album in store date of May 13, 2003. The Video for the first single was directed by Liz Friedlander (Michelle Branch, U2) and should make its debut on a variety of video outlets inlcuding Nickelodoen and MTV this Spring . AOL and Launch.com will also be featuring the band this spring as part of early awareness campaigns. On top of the release the band has some major teen press including Teen Vogue, Seventeen, Twist, Popstar as well as traditional music press such as Spin, Blender, and Women in Rock.
