Sinful Lilly at the Concourse with Michale Graves

Going out of town to see a new band is a great way to see some talent you might not have otherwise known about. What's even better is if you like them so much you wish they could rock your town.

Those of you who have followed my blog posts know I've gone to Kentucky a few times over the years. In going there, I've seen such big names as Lynch Mob, Beasto Blanco, and Stryper. It's in doing this that I've met some other bands who have the potential to make it big. One of them is Sinful Lilly!

Over the past few months, they have been on tour with the Bulletboys and Michale Graves (formerly of the Misfits), rockin' from as far north as Dudley, Massachusetts and as far south as Lexington, KY, which is their hometown. Let's go south a little bit more...Knoxville, TN, to be exact.

After seeing them three times so far, each time in either Hazard or Louisville, KY, I wanted the loyal rock music fans from Knoxville to get a taste of the rock music I and my friends have had the privilege of not only hearing but seeing live. I knew they'd be blown away. And I was right.

The eagerness started even before Sinful Lilly came up on stage for their set.

Though most if not all of the audience was born after 1969 (including myself), they all could in some way relate to "California Man." Fredi introduced it as "going on a trip without taking the trip." Then, Fredi took the audience on a trip to some more great music!

One of the things I admire about Sinful Lilly is, they like how different audiences respond to their music, especially when they're live. This was the first time seeing them where a few people formed a mosh pit! Undoubtedly, there was something about Fredi leading them into "Devil Music & the Record Machine".

Though they played other songs from their Moment of Clarity album, as well as a cover of one of their favorite KISS songs and another one by Wednesday 13, Fredi treated us to "Bikini Machine", which he wrote when he was in Sex Cab.
