Biography

  • Lilly Wood and the Prick (formed in 2006) is an Israeli-French indie pop and alternative rock band, hailing from Paris, France.

    After meeting outside a Parisian cafe through a mutual friend, French-Israeli vocalist Nili Hadida, and French-native guitarist Benjamin Cotto, soon had a creative connection and begun writing songs together. The band’s debut release was a cover of the Santogold single “L.E.S. Artistes”, which caught the attention of guitarist and record producer Pierre Guimard who opened his studio for their use. The single was later included on the compilation album “Folk & Proud” in 2008, and followed up by the band’s debut EP “Lilly Who and the What?”. Issued on Guimard’s independent label Choke Industry, the release showcased Lilly Woods’ new wave folk and lyrical poeticism.

    Lilly Wood and the Prick subsequently signed with the independent Cinq7, who issued their debut full-length “Invincible Friends” in May 2010. The album won the Victoires de la Musique award for “Revelation of the Public” over Ben I’Oncle Soul, Florent Marchet, and Camélia Jordan, and was supported by a European tour. Influenced by the pop inflections of Etienne Daho and Michel Delpech, the album spawned the hits “Down the Drain”, “This Is a Love Song”, and “My Best Friend”.

    The band’s sophomore album “The Fight” earned its release in November 2012, and peaked at No. 16 on the French Album chart, aided by the singles “Middle of the Night” and “Where I Want to Be (California)”. After releasing the single “Prayer in C” from their “Invincible Friends” album, the song was remixed by notable German producer Robin Schulz, which catapulted the French duo to chart success in over 10 countries.

Live reviews

  • Lilly Wood & The Prick

    Lilly Wood and the Prick are probably best known for the track Prayer in C, expertly remixed by the German DJ Robin Schulz, however there is a depth to their discography, which you wouldn’t automatically assume. The French alternative indie-pop group takes sources of inspiration from all over the musical spectrum from disco inspired Middle of the Night to the sliding funky bass in Where I Want to Be, the band is anything but a one trick pony.

    Nili Hadida the Israeli-born lead singer is brilliant at what she does, I admit she barely communicated to the crowd and her humbled spoken words came with a French-accented twang unlike her lyrics sung in a sweet sounding American. Her timely hitting of a floor tom increased the punch of the songs as well and the initially chilled out audience sprung into life probably feeling the effects of their second cider. Benjamin Cotto the band’s guitarist has a sophisticated quality to him, like Michael Cera’s Francois in Youth in Revolt, it’s probably just the moustache but his beautiful long drawn out guitar riffs, his simple progressive chord patterns were everything they needed to be.

    The band as a whole won my heart with their irrevocably catchy lyrics, bobbing and bouncing-inducing bass and guitar riffs and a pure loveliness that had my goosebumps stand at full attention.

  • It is never stated which member of the French alternative pop duo Lilly Wood & The Prick is referred to as the latter yet for any British listener, we would hope it wasn't us. Perhaps a miscommunication in the language barrier, perhaps an inside joke between the two musicians Nili Hadida and Benjamin Cotto.

    The pair has become known for their eccentric live performance style and interactiveness with their audiences. They were little known across Europe before DJ Robin Schulz remixed their track 'Prayer in C' and made it an international number one hit and now the demand to see the band has sky rocketed. Taking this all within their stride they approach the large stages with a quiet confidence and lead singer Nili has no issues with using the space to her advantage. They play the popular hit in its original form complete with wind instrument breakdown and breathy vocal which still makes the crowd erupt in delight. Robin may have given the band a larger scope yet it is their impressive back catalogue that backs it up.
