LILY ALLEN RETURNS TO CANADA, FOR SOLD OUT LIVE DATES
WITH the bird and the bee
Lily Allen continues to rack up unabashed global success. Canada can proudly stand among the first territories to embrace the stark blend of no-nonsense pop perfection that Lily Allen has offered up on her debut disc Alright Still. Released in Canada last September, the disc clocked in this week at #26 on the Canadian Soundscan Album Chart.
“Bubbly, cheerful and chockfull of sass” – Dose.ca
“Refreshingly Streets-meets-Specials-meets-Sugababes ska-hop soundtracks” – The Toronto Star
Lily will embark on a run of three, headline, SOLD OUT Canadian dates, beginning next week, March 27 in Vancouver, BC. Also on the tour are the show openers, the impeccably lush sounding and much buzzed about, the bird and the bee.
The L.A. duo made up of singer Inara George and keyboardist/producer Greg Kurstin, will be the opening act for Lily all of the 22 concert dates throughout the United Kingdom, United States, and Canada. (see dates below).
Kurstin, a prolific producer and multi-instrumentalist who has worked with Beck and The Flaming Lips, also produced and co-wrote three tracks "Everything's Just Wonderful," "Not Big," and "Alfie" on Allen’s debut Alright, Still.
the bird and the bee’s self-titled debut was released in Canada in late January this year to rave reviews.
“Inara George sings with the voice of an angel – a smoky, naughty, world-weary angel. The music floats by like a cloud of cotton candy, with elements of hip-hop, electronica and samba mixed in along the way.” - Chart Magazine
“A hip, slightly jazzy, electro-pop lounge duo midway between Stereolab and Everything But The Girl” – Winnipeg Sun
UPCOMING CANADIAN DATES (ALL ARE SOLD OUT)
March 27 – Commodore – Vancouver, BC
April 5 – The Phoenix – Toronto, ON
April 6 – Club Soda – Montreal, QC
