Lilys are a band based out of the DC area.  They have both a 7"
and this CD "In The Presence of Nothing" available on Slumberland
Records.  Lilys sound a lot like My Bloody Valentine, but on a much
smaller budget.  Some of their stuff blends the MBV sound with more
of a Dinosaur Jr. edge.  During the recording of these 2 records,
the shared a guitarist Archie with the band Velocity Girl.  Since Archie
left the band to persue Velocity Girl full time, they've been playing
out as a three piece and the Dinosaur Jr. influence is a lot more
prominent.  This is good stuff, but don't buy it expecting something
strikingly original.  Oh yeah, no female vocals either, if that's 
what you're looking for :)


Slumberland also has a lot more great music.  You can contact them
at.  A SASE should get you a full catalog.
