Spider Lilies is a musical electro goth rock project led by Stacey Campbell, former guitarist/backup vocalist of the Cruxshadows.
The Spider Lilies began in 1999, and after touring the U.S, Europe and Scandinavia extensively with the Cruxshadows, Stacey got back to the Spider Lilies project in 2003. Many important contributions have been made to the project by various talented artists. Dawn Perego gave special production support for the first two releases, a 3-song Limited Edition EP, in August 2005, and the full-length album “In the Light,” released in 2006. Also in 2006, William Smith joined the Spider Lilies as lead guitarist and co-writer, followed by Kevin Smith who performed as the live keyboardist until 2009. Most recently, Connor Clay joined Spider Lilies as keyboardist.
The Spider Lilies have toured throughout the eastern and central part of the United States, and have gained international recognition for their music, which is a blend of rock, darkwave, electro, and goth, featuring female vocals, guitar, electronic rhythms and samples.
The band has just released their second full-length album, "Cyclogenesis," performed at Dragon*Con in Atlanta, GA, and expect many exciting things coming up for the rest of 2009!

Because it doesn't seem to go with the rest of the outfit: hair to the max, shirt and belt, all look great. Then, just jeans... Black jeans might be ok; that's what I wear. Even so, Nick Rhodes was not know for jean wearing... I don't think that girls have dressier requirements, just that most guys (present company excluded) that want to get on a stage have no concept of how they look or why it should be important to the aesthetic of the act.
