Del Posted March 29, 2005 Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 Anyone heard of these guys, or anyone into them? I just saw this cool movie on Bravo called Circa, and what really drew me to it was the music. I did a little research and found out The Tiger Lillies played all of the music for it. They are fu©king awesome! It's like punk gypsy music played with an accordian, drums and upright bass (among other things)... They are described as "the foremost avant-garde Cabaret Band in the world". Unreal. Seriously go download an mp3 or something and check them out... I think these guys could easily become one of my favorite bands... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevO Posted March 29, 2005 Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 sounds intriguing! any tour dates del? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamilton Posted March 29, 2005 Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 Well, I don't know what they sound like (no computer speakers) - but they look like a band Tom Waits might like! Which means, I band I'll probably like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Del Posted March 31, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2005 sounds intriguing! any tour dates del? Nothing in Canada in the near future... They're doing a month long run in NYC... Trust me, if they come anywhere near me I'll be posting some dates... I've been downloading songs like crazy, I honestly can't get enough of this band! If you are going to download some mp3's, I recommend: Banging In The Nails Your Suicides Darling Wise Hang Tomorrow... I have yet to hear a song I hate... And hamilton, I can see Tom Waits loving these guys... The music isn't terribly complicated, but it's played unbelievably well, and the lyrics are borderline madness mixed with a heavy dose of genius... I really can't recommend them enough...

Del Posted March 31, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2005 Here's the lyrics to Your Suicides, one of my favorite tracks: Your suicides, you do them with pride, you do them every year: you hang yourself from the branch of a tree, the branch it breaks, I fear. Your suicides, you do them with pride, that hotel in King's Cross: you overdosed on heroin, till the use of a limb you lost. Your suicides, you do them with pride, that time you slashed your wrists: your blood it clotted quickly, your blood was just too thick. Your suicides, you do them with pride, in your car with exhaust fumes: some nosy parker came along, your suicide was doomed. Your suicides, you do them with pride, but are you really sincere? You say some day you will succeed but you're ninety-three next year. Yes, you're ninety-three (silly old sod, silly old sod), you're ninety-three (silly old sod, silly old sod), you're ninety-three next year (silly old sod, silly old sod). Yes, you're ninety-three (silly old sod, silly old sod), you're ninety-three (silly old sod, silly old sod) ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
