The Band
The Ill Lillies are an indie rock band based out of Cleveland, OH. It consists of Brian Riley on lead Guitar, Bass and
Vocals,Marty Coppola on Guitar, Piano, Vocals, and Drums, Adam Morse on Guitar and Mr.Harrington being the mythical wizard
mastermind in charge of the operation. The history of the band is as follows...
It began awhile ago back when Brian met Marty. Growing up together in Medina, OH - they naturally turned to playing
music
together. After writing numerous rock operas and learning every Beatles song forwards and backwards Marty and Brian parted
musical ways for a spell as they went to different universities. While Marty went on to get his degree, Brian went to work
in the studio. It was during these early years that most of the castro lane recordings were written and produced. The
Castro Lane recordings also marked the first collaborative effort with Mr.Harrington as the studio engineer. After Uni was
complete for Marty he moved back to Medina. It was at this time that he met Adam and introduced him to Brian. After two
years of a slightly irregular practice schedule, All three of the band members lived in the same house for a summer. The
Ill Lillies will be in the studio for quite some time and will continue to post tracks as they are recorded.

Mr.Harrington
Nobody knows where Mr.Harrington came from. All we do know is that he is one hell of a studio engineer. Currently residing in the cleveland...area. It's been suggested that it's not a good idea to stare at him too long if you ever run into him in a public place.
