Line 1: {{~~work~~creator}} [[File:0287-the_tiger_lilies_04_7478.jpg\|~~frame~~thumb\|300px]] '''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Peter]]'', one that's a parody of ''[[The Threepenny Opera]]'', and an album with [[Edward Gorey]]'s unpublished poems, created by Gorey's express request. InSince the ~~past~~early ~~few years~~2000s, they've gone from piss-poor obscurity to international fame, playing high-end theatres all over the globe. Most recently, they were invited to play in [[Bertolt Brecht]]'s own Berlin theatre — one of the ''very'' few occasions the theatre hosted anything aside from classical plays by its own ensemble. The band's celebrity fans include [[The Simpsons (animation)\|Matt Groening]], [[Terry Gilliam]], [[The Dresden Dolls]], [[Franz Ferdinand]] (who attend their concerts when they feel like it), [[Marilyn Manson]] and [[Dita Von Teese]] (who used songs by the Tiger Lillies as their ''wedding music''), and [[Hedwig and The Angry Inch\|John Cameron Mitchell]]. They have to be [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cbEKFVCrArA seen to be believed]. Not to be confused with the all-female undergraduate ''a capella'' vocal group of the same name from [[Ivy League\|Princeton University]]. ---- {{creatortropes}} ~~=== Tropes that have shown up in their works include: ===~~ * [[Black Comedy]] * [[Black Comedy Rape]] Line 19 ⟶ 22: * [[Comedic Sociopathy]] * [[Dead Baby Comedy]] * [[Doomy Dooms of Doom]]: "The Crack of Doom" * [[Foregone Conclusion]]: "The Crack of Doom" * [[Harsh Vocals]] * [[Refuge in Vulgarity]] Line 26 ⟶ 31: [[Category:The Tiger Lillies]] [[Category:Music]] {{DEFAULTSORT:Tiger Lillies, The}}
