Meet the Girls Who Rock
Lillix is made up of 17-year-old Tasha-Ray Evin, who sings and plays guitar; her 19-year-old sister Lacey-Lee Evin, the singing keyboardist; Louise Burns, 17, Lillix's bassist, who also sings; and 23-year-old drummer Kim Urhahn.
Tasha-Ray Evin, her sister Lacey-Lee and their buddy Louise Burns are all school friends from the rural town of Cranbrook, BC, Canada. Lillix was originally called Tiger Lilly and have been jamming together since they were about 11 years old.
Cranbrook is a small town near the Canadian Rockies so the girls of Lillix weren't exactly near any kind of big music scene. Still, Lillix kept on writing lyrics and music and jamming their hearts out.
Lillix scored a big break when they signed a record deal with pop icon Madonna's label, Maverick Records. Tasha-Ray Evin, Lacey-Lee Evin and Louise Burns all share vocal and songwriting credits on their first album, Falling Uphill. The first single, It's About Time, has been very popular on radio stations in the US and Canada.
Did U Know?
Tasha-Ray Evin's fave colors are purple and black. Kim Urhahn was the last girl to join the band. Lacey-Lee Evin has a chihuahua named Tangy. Louise Burns says Jamaica would be the ultimate place to live.
Lillix Says...
"The public is now starting to become more aware that girls do musical things like play guitars and write songs. Girls do rock." (Louise Burns.)
