Tiger Lillies
The forefathers of Brechtian Punk Cabaret, the Tiger Lillies, will have concert at Reykjavík Arts Festival May 29 at the Icelandic opera.
They were founded in 1989 and 20 years later, their sound remains one of the most unique and original things you could come across.
The Tiger Lillies stood out immediately for their distinct sound and style and worked their way up from London pubs to the Piccadilly Theatre, from buskers’; benches to the Sidney Opera House. Soon the Tiger Lillies were touring the world giving concerts and participating in various art and theatre projects. Among the highlights in their career was the Olivier Award they won for the cult hit musical Shockheaded Peter and the Grammy nomination for their album The Gorey End. In 19 years The Tiger Lillies have released 21 albums, participated in numerous shows and toured most of the world, never ceasing to surprise, shock and entertain their audience with their inimitably deviant musical style.
