	Lissy Trullie May 22, 2009 Share Photo Gallery Official Band Website

Future Sounds first caught wind of Lissy back in November of 2008, when we got an early copy of the rough demos that would later be the Self-Taught Learner EP and instantly connected with the tough-chick vocals that are reminiscent of Chrissie Hynde of The Pretenders. A former graphic designer and high-fashion model, she appeared in places like Elle and SOMA and was the face of Chloe Sevigny’s clothing line, as well regular scene DJ in New York City. Yet, it was music that was always her calling. Lissy (real name: Lizzy McChesney) formed a band that caused enough of a stir that she’s recently signed with Wichita Records in the UK, and with Downtown Records in the US (what indie band wouldn’t be in heaven with that combo?).

We chatted them up and found out they are writing their forthcoming full-length and so gave Future Sounds & WOXY the exclusive preview of a new song, "U Bleed U" from the next batch of tracks.

The Lissy Trullie cover of "Ready For The Floor" rivals, if not tops, Hot Chip's original version, but on this Friday morning after they played a sold out show at The El Rey Theatre in Los Angeles with The Virgins, they delivered a couple tracks we’ve been spinning on the weekly show live: "Boy Boy" and "Self-Taught Learner". The band is still on the road with The Virgins rapping up a US tour before jumping over to Europe in Mid June for tour dates there.

Track Listing:
Bad Boy
Self-Taught Learner
U Bleed U (unreleased)
