Liily was formed in Los Angeles in 2016. Members include frontman Dylan Nash, guitarist Sam De La Torre, bassist Charlie Anastasis, and drummer Maxx Morando. The group met while attending music school. Morando was a former drummer of
The Regrettes. In 2018, Liily released their debut single "Toro" on Flush Records. 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. 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. In 2021, the album
TV or Not TV was released on Flush Records. It marked a shift to a more intense, electronic influenced sound. The album was produced by
Joe Chiccarelli. The band toured with
Fidlar in 2023. ==References==
