Beach Bunny on Tour
Beach Bunny, the indie bedroom pop/rock group known for their melancholic lyrics and pensive melodies, hit the road for a six-month international tour ahead of their July 2022 album Emotional Creature. The four-piece band, created and led by singer/songwriter Lili Trifilio, has a style that draws comparisons to Cavetown, Moon Taxi and mxmtoon, with an acoustically raw and unpolished sound that elicits introspection. Beach Bunny is perhaps best known for their popular single "Prom Queen," off the EP of the same name, and "Cloud 9," which peaked in the Top 20 on Billboard's Alternative Streaming Songs chart and was the lead single for their 2020 debut album Honeymoon. To date, both singles have accumulated more than 220 million streams on Spotify each. The group has also drawn more than 6 million monthly listeners on Spotify and amassed wild popularity for their live performances, selling out large venues with concertgoers praising Trifilio's sharp songwriting and the band's powerful stage presence.

Beach Bunny Live in Concert
Lili Trifilio, a Chicago native, originally wrote many of the early Beach Bunny songs with the intent of having them be solo releases to jump-start her career. Early releases like 2015's Animalism and 2016's Pool Party were unplugged and written with a heavy personal reflection. With the addition of bandmates Anthony Vaccaro on bass, Jon Alvarado on drums and Matt Henkels on guitar, the band found their lane as a grungy indie pop/rock group. Two years later they cut their debut EP as the group we now know as Beach Bunny. "Prom Queen" (both the single and EP) was met with critical praise from the underground scene and caught fire on social media, which led to the group signing with indie label Mom + Pop Music. With a sound that resonated with a large audience, and the infrastructure and support from a label, the group has been on a constant rise ever since. Their 2020 full-length debut release Honeymoon was praised for showcasing that the group had "leveled up" from their aspirations from Prom Queen. Most recently, Beach Bunny has released a handful of singles ahead of their newest release Emotional Creature, including "Fire Escape" and "Oxygen."
