One of the best American shoegaze bands, Lilys started out in Washington DC and then moved around almost as much as I did. Last I heard they were based in Philadelphia but to be honest I haven't really been keeping up.
Their sound has undergone similar changes, from the Dinosaur Jr influence of their first single (this one), to the really heavy MBVisms of their full-length debut, to their very Kink-y biggest hit, "A Nanny In Manhattan". Their most recent album, 2006's Everything Wrong Is Imaginary, is nothing like any of the above and might just be the best thing they've ever done.
But here's that first single, anyway. I bet they never play this live any more.
