LILLY WOOD AND THE PRICK ( - FR)
Lilly Wood and The Prick, alias Nili and Ben, are French but have decided to sing their pop in English. Influenced just as much by Johnny Cash and Patti Smith as Joy Division and The Kills, their magical universe transports you to a childlike world full of glitter in a very original way. They are, therefore, not a typical group; although they are on the French rock-pop scene, they immediately hit jackpot with a wider public. Furthermore, Lilly Wood took away best newcomer at the last Victoires de La Musique awards from under the noses of industry heavyweights like Ben l’Oncle Soul, Zaz and Camelia Jordana. Their first album that links raw lyrics, serious subjects and light melodies, must be heard immediately live on the Ardentes stage where their dancey folk songs carried by Nili’s hoarse and powerful vocals, will take on their full amplitude.
