The Tiger Lillies are a British musical trio formed in 1989 by singer-songwriter Martyn Jacques.

[2] The band's name is rumoured to have been inspired by a murdered Soho sex worker called Lillie who used to dress up in animal print.

In Spring 2012 Adrian Huge decided to take a leave of absence and was replaced by drummer Mike Pickering who toured with the Tiger Lillies from 2012.

The Independent has described The Tiger Lillies as "a provocative and avant-garde three-piece band that combines cabaret, vaudeville, music-hall and street theatre",[10] while Tim Arthur of Time Out described them as: "Kurt Weill conjuring up images of prewar Berlin while a falsetto vocalist screams, squeaks and squawks his way through every number like some rambling madman".

[11] The Tiger Lillies' songs often involve bestiality, prostitution, blasphemy and other vices.
