The restless band has been on permanent world tour for 36 years. Not a year goes by without 1-2 albums, a new program, theater productions and permanent worldwide tours. Dark and absurd theatricality are their trademark, and the dark cabaret genre, which became popular in the early 2000s, is based on them.

In 1998, the band experienced their international breakthrough with the musical hit Shockheaded Peter. In 2003, they were nominated for a Grammy with the album The Gorey End together with the Kronos Quartet. They are a welcome guest on the world's theater stages, most recently their Shakespeare variation A Macbeth Song in Barcelona filled the house for 2½ months. Most recently, they also contributed parts of the soundtrack for Johnny Depp's film Modi: Three Days on Wings of Madness, underlining their status.

With an international reputation as one of the most interesting avant-garde bands in the world, the Tiger Lillies never cease to surprise, shock and entertain with their inimitable sound. And in doing so, they fuse the macabre magic of pre-war Berlin with the biting edge of punk. The world of the Tiger Lillies is dark, peculiar and varied, with moments of black humor and immense beauty.
