They describe their sound as a combination of ’80s dark pop, ’60s girl bands and ’90s industrial. Accurate, but Lilofee is greater than throwbacks to past decades. Their performance at Mezzanine was definitely dark and moody, but also lined with hints of fun and playfulness. Sometimes Kimi would scream and head bang, and even at one point appeared to ‘die’ on stage, a very slow dramatic fall-to-the-floor death with the band continuing on without her – fantastically dramatic. Other times, however, she danced around, happily fist pumping and playfully seducing her front row gawkers. The icing came when halfway through the show she took off her pantyhose because they were annoyingly sagging down, making her feel “fifty.” So, with a warning to the fans, she took them right off onstage, flung them into the audience and sang the rest of the set barefoot. This duality of her character – the siren goddess mixed with the accessible girl next door – kept the audience hooked.

Download “Lock and Key” and “Destroy Me” for a good idea of their overall sound and remarkable ability to get lyrics stuck in your head. “Hey mister, hey mister, I kissed your kid sister/ Whatcha gonna do? Whatcha gonna do?” simply can’t be ignored. Damnit!
Overall, Lilofee crushed Noise Pop’s inaugural performance, huffing and puffing and blowing the house down.
