  • I Lilys sono una band indie rock statunitense, formatasi a Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, nei primi anni novanta. Il gruppo ha come unico membro stabile il cantautore/chitarrista mentre gli altri musicisti sono costantemente cambiati in ogni album. Stilisticamente la musica di Heasley si è evoluta dallo shoegaze degli esordi, al suono più levigato degli ultimi album, passando per le influenze "British invasion" di . I Lilys vengono spesso considerati una one-hit wonder per via del grande successo del singolo A Nanny in Manhattan, scelto nel 1998 come colonna sonora di uno spot dei jeans Levi's. In realtà il gruppo era già attivo da prima, e ha continuato a pubblicare dischi anche in seguito rimanendo però sempre all'interno del circuito indipendente. (it)
