Stargazer Lily is like an amusement park with something for everyone. This 3-year old 4-piece from Philly packs love, anger, wit, pain, joy and sex into 3-minute and 15-second rock rides.

Whether you hear the lush harmonies live, or on their new Phil Nicolo-produced CD, The Lift and The Drag, Susan's sugar sweet melodies and Steph's throaty-rasp take each song on their own musical journey. Scooter's solid backbeat is a perfect fit with Jim's melodic base lines. Individual band member influences range from Tom Petty to Rage Against the Machine, which helps to explain the uniqueness of this band. Of course that also makes it difficult to give specific comparisons. What can they say? They've created a sound like no one else. Fans of Liz Phair, Belly, Beck, Dylan, 10,000 Maniacs, The Beatles, Blondie, and Hole will love every ounce of Stargazer Lily's passion and imagery throughout every compelling song.

Few independent bands have accomplished as much as Stargazer Lily. With a heaping discography, three videos, and a handful of east coast tours and performances, on stages with everyone from Shane McGowan and the Popes to G- Love and Special Sauce to The Dave Matthews Band, they can only go up from here. Chosen to perform at Y-100's Feztival (along side No Doubt, Lit, and The Stone Temple Pilots) this band continues to garner the exposure and fans they need to fuel the musical fire to allow for Susan, Steph, Scooter and Jim to keep doing what they love to do: play live, record in the studio, and just be Stargazer Lily.
