SXSW 2019: Liily

Waterloo Records came out with their day parties but there's still some TBD.  Thursday is probably the day we'll be near there so here's the lineup:

NOON Morgxn
1pm Donna Missal
2pm Mansionair
3pm Liily
4pm TBA
5pm TBA
6pm Bright Light Social Hour

We saw a bit of Donna Missal's set at ACL.  Mansionair was here for SXSW in 2015.  I wouldn't mind seeing them.  The band at 3pm is best described by this article: "Liily are some newcomers you need to keep on your radar. The L.A. five-piece is exciting not only because their oldest member is only 19 years old but because of their refreshing take on Foals-era math-pop. Liily are less about the angular riffs and more about a powerful rock sound."

They're playing the Stubhub party at Bangers and the Fender party at Lustre Pearl on Friday with Japanese Breakfast.  Very high profile.  This video has 1M views already.

The chorus in "Sold" reminds me of a rocking Ben Harper.
