'''The Tiger Lillies''' are a three man band from Soho, London, UK. They sing about filth.
So... that's the short version. The long version is that the Tiger Lillies are a punk cabaret band led by classically trained falsetto / philosophy dropout Martyn Ja(c)ques, supported by two Adrians in silly hats: Adrian Hughes (on drums, toy cars and inflatable hammers) and Adrian Stout (on bass, theremin and backup vocals).
Line 8:
Their songs range from deranged screaming to incredibly touching sailor ballads. The band isn't afraid to cover, either: their work includes songs by [[Jacques Brel]], [[Kurt Weill]], [[Stephen Sondheim]], [[Frank Sinatra]] and [[The Village People]]. They also have several [[Concept Album]] projects and shows: one based on ''[[Struwwelpeter|Shockheaded Peter]]'', one that's a parody of ''[[The Threepenny Opera]]'', and an album with [[Edward Gorey]]'s unpublished poems, created by Gorey's express request.

Not to be confused with the all-female undergraduate ''a capella'' vocal group of the same name from [[Ivy League|Princeton University]].
