Lily Rae

Brixton-born Lily Rae is a nineteen-year-old singer/songwriter. Previously the front woman of punk band, Bottle Rocket ? who split in 2007 amid naked acrimony ? she is quickly establishing herself as an artist in her own right with a series of London gigs (with backing band The Saturday Girls) and a single ? Bad Film - on Sad Gnome Records. A charismatic and confrontational performer of her own work, Lily's songs are tuneful, funny, angry and honest.

A charismatic and confrontational performer of her own work, Lily's songs are tuneful, funny, angry and honest. She blends new wave/acoustic melodies with a cabaret sensibility and some startlingly precise lyrics to create a sound that is fresh, young and exciting. A bit like Lily Allen would be if she was cleverer, rocked more, and sang what she blogged about.
