Nineties hip hop goddesses TLC have announced their first Australian tour. Surviving members Tionne ‘T-Boz’ Watkins and Rozanda ‘Chilli’ Thomas will play their first Australian dates in June.
The band had a string of hits in the ’90s with ‘Creep’, ‘Waterfalls’, ‘Diggin on You’, ‘Unpretty’ and ‘Scrubs’.
Rapper Lisa ‘Left Eye’ Lopez was killed in a car crash in Honduras in 2002, leaving the band’s fourth album ‘3D’ only partially recorded. After promoting their final album T-Boz and Chilli decided to retire the group.
Last year the band’s profile was raised when they story was dramatised in TV movie ‘Crazy Sexy Cool: The TLC Story ‘. The band also returned to the studio to record a new track, while they recorded a song written by Lady Gaga, the band chose not to release it, instead they went with a track called ‘Meant to Be’ written by Ne-Yo. Now the band are back in the studio working on their fifth album with producer Dallis Austin.
