History
editLiily was formed in Los Angeles in 2016. Members include frontman Dylan Nash, guitarist Sam De La Torre, bassist Charlie Anastasis, and drummer Maxx Morando.[2] The group met while attending music school.[2][3] Morando was a former dummer of The Regrettes.[4]
In 2018, Liily released their debut single "Toro" on Flush Records.[5] In 2019, the group released their EP I Can Fool Anybody in This Town. They subsequently toured in the United States and Europe, and played at festivals such as Lollapalooza and Bonnaroo.[6]
Liily began to work on their follow-up immediately after the release of I Can Fool Anybody in This Town. Much of the material was written in Joshua Tree National Park in January 2020. During the COVID-19 lockdowns, the bandmembers continued to work on material individually.[7] In 2021, the album TV or Not TV was released on Flush Records.[8] It marked a shift to a more intense, electronic influenced sound.[9] The album was produced by Joe Chiccarelli.[7]
In 2022, the band participated in Miley's New Year's Eve Party.[10][11] The band toured with Fidlar in 2023.[12]
