Hello hello hello! It’s been a long time! I should post here more!
It looks as if we Cobra Lilies are playing our show for February at the Echo! We are very excited about this, there will be room for our ANTICS. And antics it will/shall be. How many antics? FIVE! 5 5 5 antics! Try to count them yourself–you can’t! Ha ha ha ha! Unless you have five fingers, then you can. Maybe.
Plus we are playing with our bestest buddies Pizza! And the show is being presented by LA Underground! And this Findlay Brown gentleman who’s apparently on tour with Nouvelle Vague! I had no idea! So Nouvelle Vague aren’t playing our show, of course no, but Mr. Findlay is. All I can say is: POWER PACK EXPLODE!!!
PS: We rule!!!

We just got back from playing a totally wonderful show at Echo Curio with Big Whup–at which we debuted our version of a well-known holiday classic, which you can listen to (and download) on our myspace page.
Perhaps I should use the word “classic” in the context of: “classic” to those of us who are of a certain age. We played this song to a crowd of (almost entirely) under-30-year-olds and got a series of blank stares, except for one or two gray-haired guys smiling and nodding in the corner. So don’t feel bad if you have no idea what we’re talking about here.
Happy Christmas.

I know that we just played our November show last weekend, but guess what–our show for December fast approacheth! It is this Friday at Echo Curio, with Big Whup, So Many Wizards, and Watercolor Paintings. The show starts at 9pm and we go on at 10.
It is an Xmas themed show, of course–there will be a carol. We’re not telling you which one, though.

Hi everybody–
People have been asking us about where one can buy a copy of the “In The Key Of Bicycle Bell” EP. You can get it from us, but it’s also for sale at Origami Vinyl in Echo Park (next to 2 Boots Pizza and The Echo), and to celebrate this fact we are playing an in-store show at Origami with The Voyeurs on Saturday, November 28 at 7pm. Early show, all-ages, free. Like so:
Come witness all 9 of us attempt to cram ourselves into the performance space at Origami. I believe there may be some Sound-Of-Music-style occupation of the spiral staircase. We shall see!

Hi all–
We have a 20-person $5 list for Tuesday’s show at the Echo–the first 20 people who contact us with their name(s) can get in for $5 instead of $8. We go on early (9pm), it’s our first time at the Echo, and we’re going to put on a fun fun fun show! Our only show of the month, in fact!
So yes, please send us your names–you can reach us at:
cobralilies (at) themonolators.com or via myspace.
Thanks! We’d love to see you there!

We Cobra Lilies have an exciting show coming up at the Echo this coming Tuesday (the 20th). We go on early, at 9pm, as is the Cobra Lilies way. This is CL’s first time playing the Echo and we are excited that there will be enough room for our shenanigans. 18+, so almost all-ages.
We are opening for Cincinnati’s dance-rock cuties Bad Veins and their tourmates The Subjects. Interestingly The Subjects apparently have a member named “Cobra.” What will happen when Cobra meets the Lilies? We shall see! The show is $8 but my understanding is that there will be a discount list–stay tuned about that.

It is with sadness that I announce the resignation of intrepid bassist Ashley Lily from the ranks of the Cobra Lilies. Ashley played with us for the better part of two years now and, of course, appears on In The Key Of Bicycle Bell wielding the mighty Thunderbird bass–and as vocalist on the first verse of “There’s Always Love.” She will be missed.
Our sadness is tempered with the pleasant news, however, that Ashley will continue on as bassist of the Monolators, so please say hi to her at the next Monos show.

I am pleased to announce that Origami Vinyl in Echo Park now has copies of In The Key Of Bicycle Bell for sale–the very selfsame white silkscreened 12″ beauties that we unveiled last Saturday. Obviously you can also get a copy directly from us, too, but it would please us greatly if you’d support a wonderful local business like Origami. They are just a few doors down from The Echo…and a block away from Stories…and they’re open late and are wonderful people. We plan to play an in-store show there soon. Check it out! We’ve only pressed 250 of these things and at the rate we’re going with the silkscreening I HIGHLY DOUBT there will be more, so please do get yours while you can.
