Hot on the heels of a huge year in the studio with producer Stuart Stuart and following energetic performances at Dead of Winter Festival, Big Day Out 2013 and supporting Presidents of the United States in March, Queensland-based Lilly and her band are ready to embark on their Australian tour.
Flame haired hell raiser, front woman and songwriter Ms Lilly Rouge is equally comfortable singing anthemic rockers and more subtle ballads, all backed by her thumping backing band of fine young men featuring:
Paul Craig on guitar
Barney Gicckel on bass
Matt Schrader on drums
The first single to be lifted from the five song EP is the title track ‘Switchblade’, a blistering pop rocker complete with handclapping, attitude, hard guitars and frenetic percussion.
“I love Switchblade because it has attitude as well as a super catchy riff and I can really jump around to it onstage,” Lilly said. “It’s great for pumping the crowd up during our live show!”
