What do the critics say? 'Down on tape, lead singer Lily Flax struts her stuff with the classic punk pout, spitting out her lyrics in the face of all the white-bread mindless and mediocre music lovers out there'
Local Aesthetic
'The Trough Lollies set the mood with their opening track, "Get Ya Cock Out", and I can't say it got all that much more sophisticated. This was pure piss-taking punk that aimed to offend, in the same vein as Frenzal Rhomb'
Impress
“Trough Lollies are meant to be pissed on” Local Anesthetic
“Trough Lollies (more wit) hopefully didn't pay more than 100 quid for their recording of 'Indi Elite', it's bordering on crap but strangely appealling. Lyrically, they are to be congratulated on giving the industry types a good verbal bollocking.” www.cdbaby.com
Similarly, "Indie Elite" is a scathing tribute to the posers of the indie scene. To quote: "your arms are crossed and you don't tap your feet, you hold up a wall at the back of the crowd, I'm sorry miss is the music too loud" www.thedwarf.com.au
“The vocals of Lilly Flax have a definite Donna's feel with the added specialty of cursing when felt necessary.” www.thedwarf.com.au
LILY FLAX (Vox), TOPHER GIBSON (Guitar), ARUGA (Drums and vox) and DODGE REBUFF (Bass and vox) decided to form a band, and called themselves TROUGH LOLLIES. Destined to offend and disgust, but get you dancing they cut a swathe across the punk rock genre.
They played their first gig July 30th 2005, at the National Hotel, Geelong, and have played venues such as The Tote, The Greyhound Hotel, The Barwon Club, The Noise Bar, and The Karova. They played a memorable gig at The Arthouse, where Lily dressed up as a giant bunny and Topher came as a spaceman. The band have played on Noise TV, which screens nationally on SBS and dropped the C word, and SBS had to have the disclaimer this program contains extremely offensive content
They have supported bands like King City Seven and Mach Pelican.
Their music has recently been chosen to accompany Fat Pizza (SBS).
Their song Indie Elite appears on Payola 3 compalation from Smashed Records.
The band consists of:
Dodge Rebuff-the youngest in the band, a baby face chardonnay drinking bass player, smiling as he strips and pumps out that heavy bass line, filling in a backing vocals
Topher Gibson-a rock guitar player who plays blue rifts, he looks like Jesus and his tunes have been sent from god
Lily Flax-A foul-mouthed Londoner, who sings like an Angel, but will kick you in the nuts if you call her a bitch
Kim-a petite drummer with a background in Blues, her small frame defies her tub-thumping style
Trough Lollies have an old School punk rock sound, very English, compounded by there English singer. They have been compared with The Spazzys, Vice Squad, Bad Religion and X-ray Specs. They play for fun, and often have a better time on stage than the crowd. They have built up a following around Melbourne, Ballarat and Geelong. Their motto is: TROUGH LOLLIES, Anti-establishment not anti-social
