There are a lot of reasons not to like Lissy Trullie. She’s from New York. She’s an extremely pretty model who oozes cool from every pore of her flawless skin. And, on the surface, it may seem like there’s more hype than substance to her band, given that they only have an EP under their belt and it includes a Hot Chip cover, our Music Editor’s most hated band. To make matters worse, she’s also incredibly funny and friendly (she even had the gall to say “hello” to a random passerby as we sat down for a quick interview).

We caught up with her when she stopped in town for a show with The Virgins, who are also made up of models. In New York, Lissy explains, street casting is commonplace. “You kinda get picked up for that pretty easily. There’s mad scouts on the street. You gotta watch out!”

Her band, Lissy Trullie, play Stokes-style New York indie rock and put on an engaging and energetic live performance. Despite being an opener, they’ve been drawing big crowds and continue to build their buzz. Surprised by how candid and friendly she is, we flat out say that, with so much going for her, we’re astonished she’s not more stuck up. Lissy laughs and responds, “That’s the word on the street. People think it’s a New York thing.” The she adds, “You know our shit is stinky too.” Okay Lissy, you’ve charmed the hell out of us and won us over. Consider us believers now.
