The Tiger Lillies: A Night of Macabre Magic in İstanbul
I Mean It Creative is thrilled to unveil our latest collaboration: the poster design and title treatment for the iconic British musical trio, The Tiger Lillies. Known as the forefathers of Brechtian Punk Cabaret, The Tiger Lillies will bring their darkly theatrical performance to the İş Bank Towers in Istanbul for an unforgettable evening.

Designing the Macabre Magic of Pre-War Berlin

For this special concert, I Mean It Creative crafted a visual identity that captures the essence of The Tiger Lillies’ unique sound and style. The poster’s design channels the gritty glamour and eerie allure of pre-war Berlin, a hallmark of the band’s aesthetic. Through bold typography and evocative imagery, the design evokes the haunting melodies and provocative storytelling that define their performances.

The title treatment, specifically designed for this project, is a centerpiece of the artwork. Its intricate lettering reflects the band’s theatrical roots while maintaining an edge that nods to their punk influences. Every detail of the poster was carefully chosen to mirror the band’s signature blend of cabaret, vaudeville, and raw emotional power.

About The Tiger Lillies

Formed in 1989 by the inimitable Martyn Jacques, The Tiger Lillies have carved out a unique niche in the world of music. Their sound blends the haunting undertones of Kurt Weill-inspired cabaret with the savage edge of punk, creating a style that is as provocative as it is captivating. The trio, currently featuring Martyn Jacques, Adrian Stout, and Budi Butenop, is known for its theatrical performances and songs that delve into the dark and surreal corners of human experience.

From bestiality to blasphemy, their lyrics push boundaries while their music draws on influences ranging from gypsy and circus tunes to French chanson and British music hall. Their performances are a sensory journey—raw, eccentric, and utterly unforgettable.
