Obi Best Tour

(PR) Obi Best is hitting the road to share their fanciful pop with you in person. First they'll be play several west coast dates with their friends The Bird and The Bee, for whom Obi frontwoman Alex Lilly moonlights as a backup singer. Then they'll embark on their own national tour.

The band's forthcoming debut full-length "Capades" is set for a February 24th release. When she's not moonlighting as back-up singer for acclaimed retro-pop group the Bird and the Bee (Bluenote), Alex Lilly is masterminding the fanciful pop of Obi Best.

With the help of a few Los Angeles-based friends and a sensibility that's been favorably compared to bands such as Stereolab, Her Space Holiday and Au Revoir Simone, Lilly conjures music that's complex and catchy -- think geometry, double-dutch, and animated spin art.
