With a two-year resident gig at ultracool death club the Viper Room and a list of session credits that reads like the 1996 Year in Rock, Lili Haydn appears to be the hippest socialite on the Sunset Strip. A classically trained violinist, Haydn made her pop music debut in 1997 with Lili, a confident stroke of postmodern eclecticism that incorporates a variety of styles, including hip-hop, folk and classical music. Her uncompromising brand of grown-up alterna-rock is often compared to Tori Amos, and her virtuoso playing shares center stage with pristine, impassioned vocals.
