Lillix formed in Los Angeles in 1991 with Ron DeVoe on vocals and guitar, Rob Urban on bass, and Billy Catfish on drums. They built a following with energetic live shows before releasing their self-titled debut album in 1995.
That album included "What I Like About You," which became their breakout hit. The song's straightforward melody and lyrics about teenage feelings connected with listeners and got radio play, though some critics dismissed it as too polished for the alternative scene.
They put out a few more records after that, like Falling Up in 1997 and Inside the Hollow in 1999. Other songs like "Dance Alone" and "It's About Time" kept their sound in that same pop-rock lane. The band went through some lineup changes over time before eventually going quiet.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
