Lillix (/ˈlɪlɪks/) was a pop/rock band from Cranbrook, British Columbia, Canada, formed under the name Tigerlily in 1997 when the early members were in high school. The band was originally an all-girls band composed of guitarist Tasha-Ray Evin, keyboardist Lacey-Lee Evin, bassist Louise Burns, and drummer Sierra Hills. In 2001 the band was signed by Maverick Records and changed their name to Lillix as there was another band called Tigerlily. Hills left in 2002 and was replaced by Kim Urhahn, and later by Alicia Warrington. The Evin sisters announced that as of late 2006 the band was considered on hiatus due to the folding of their label, Maverick.[1] The band announced its return in 2009, and released their third album Tigerlily independently in Canada on 24 August 2010. Sales of the album were poor and band activity ceased shortly thereafter.[1]

It has been announced in March 2010 on the website that "Nowhere to Run" would be the band's upcoming single, and that a video directed by Colin Minihan would be shot by the end of the month. It was released on 7 August 2010 and first aired on MuchMusic the same day. The title of the new album was announced on 17 July 2010, to be Tigerlily in honor of their original band name.

Tigerlily was released in Canada on 24 August 2010. It has been met by positive reviews; music journalists such as Kate MacRae from ChartAttack have stated that "Tigerlily has some pretty good tracks ("7 Days", "Back Up Girl" and "Nowhere to Run"), Lillix".[6] In November 2015, an interview with Lacey-Lee was published by SonicBids Blog discussing the band's label (Maverick) folding and the struggles they faced afterwards.[1]
