In the past few years, they've gone from piss-poor obscurity to international fame, playing high-end theatres all over the globe. Most recently, they were invited to play in Creator/BertoltBrecht's own Berlin theatre -- one of the ''very'' few occasions the theatre hosted anything aside from classical plays by its own ensemble. The band's celebrity fans include Creator/MattGroening, Creator/TerryGilliam, Music/TheDresdenDolls, Music/FranzFerdinand (who attend their concerts when they feel like it), Music/MarilynManson and Creator/DitaVonTeese (who used songs by the Tiger Lillies as their ''wedding music''), and [[Theatre/HedwigAndTheAngryInch John Cameron Mitchell]].

Their songs range from deranged screaming to touching sailor ballads, and their subjects are PlayedForLaughs and PlayedForDrama with equal abandon. The band isn't afraid to do cover songs, either. They have interpreted Music/JacquesBrel, Music/KurtWeill, Music/StephenSondheim, Music/FrankSinatra and the Music/TheVillagePeople. They also have several ConceptAlbum projects and shows: One based on ''Literature/ShockheadedPeter'', one that's a parody of ''Theatre/TheThreepennyOpera'', and an album with Creator/EdwardGorey's unpublished poems, created at the request of by Gorey himself.
