What you’ll do

The Doors, the Byrds, and other 1960s bands who performed on the Sunset Strip birthed an iconic rock scene that sustained through ‘70s punk pioneers X and The Germs, ‘80s hair metal bands like Mötley Crüe and Guns N’ Roses, and ‘90s grunge with Nirvana and Alice in Chains. As a music journalist who grew up in the scene’s glam era, I'll walk you through the Strip’s legacy and dish on the lore. If you'd like to have this experience on a different date/time than those available, please message me.

About me

Music journalist and podcaster
I'm Lily. I've spent over three decades as a music journalist, contributing to publications like SPIN, Billboard, Variety, NPR, and the Los Angeles Times. I've authored biographies and press releases for major artists and earned awards for stories about Billie Eilish and Iranian bootleg culture. I also host the podcast Pictures of Lily. I spent my teen years rocking out on the Sunset Strip, and not much has changed. I'm excited to share the street’s energy and legacy with you.
