Hilary Jones

Formed from the ashes of legendary underground artsnob rockband Teenage Lesbian Vampires, this four-sometimes-five-piece band features crunchy electric guitar and electro-noise keys under a firm bed of deep bass and tight drumming. Singer/guitarist/human raincloud ED ZISK hails from Switzerland where he grew up in a small mountain community dreaming of someday living in a slightly bigger mountain community that had a mall. After a night of binge eating he had an epiphany and moved to Brooklyn to start his own line of couture racing gloves. Drummer ILYA SHIKH frequents Russian circles and hopes to someday open a massage parlour in Times Square. He once brought a rope to a chain store and has yet to hear the end of it. Bassist GERMAN LUCAS left his home in the Himalayas at age 7 with nothing but a Yak and a pair of Air Jordans. 20 years later he stepped foot in New York City and simultaneously became the bass player in 30 radically different bands. He never sleeps. Keyboarder RYAN WARNER grew up in the West riding waves. An early descendant of the Norse god Loki, he summons USDA organic electrobolts when he isn't busy telling lies or drinking iced coffee. hilary jones is a genre bending band from the bowels of Gowanus. www.hilaryjonesband.com
