Sinful Lilly, of Kentucky, is the duo of Fredi Handshoe (Lead Vocals/Guitar) and Nikki Valklix (Vocals/Bass), with touring/session drummer Jimmy Wooten.

Fredi (Sex Cab, Super Sonic Guitars, Tigertailz USA) began performing professionally with the Atlanta-based rock/punk-fueled band Sex Cab. They stopped performing around 1994, but never officially dissolved the band. After relocating back to Kentucky in 1995, Fredi opened his recording studio, Jettlane. With Jettlane up and running, Fredi joined forces with a few friends and started Super Sonic Guitars in 2001. The group would eventually go on to perform with members of KISS, Alice Cooper, Dangerous Toys, New England, and support Bruce Kulick on one-off dates during his “Transformer” promotional tour.

After parting ways with Super Sonic Guitars, Fredi continued to stay busy with the launch of his record label, Jettlane Records, and his 2008 solo release entitled “Bikini Machines from Beyond the Stars.” Fredi handled most of the instruments and vocals but brought in friend Kent Slucher (Luke Bryan) to handle the majority of drum duties and David Barrick (Black Stone Cherry, Kentucky Headhunters, and Nashville Pussy) to co-engineer and produce this straight-up rocker.

In 2012, bassist Nikki Valklix (Valklix) joined Fredi on a tribute album, which included members of Aerosmith, Badlands, Black Sabbath, Dio, Ozzy Osbourne, Ratt, and WASP. What started out as a studio project, soon turned into Sinful Lilly. They continued with a string of contributions to other tribute albums…namely Aerosmith, Alice Cooper, Dio, Judas Priest, KISS, Metallica, Queen, David Bowie, Motorhead, and The Rolling Stones…while working on original material.

Sinful Lilly began doing small tours and one-off shows in 2014. In 2015, they released their first studio effort “Moment of Clarity Vol. 1” on Jettlane Records (available at www.sinful-lilly.com), featuring the single “Truth or Consequence.” Later that year, Fredi’s solo song “Nevermore” was included on the release Guitar Wizards Vols. III and IV (featuring Bruce Kulick of KISS, Chris Poland of Megadeth, the late Jeff Healey, and Tracy G of Dio).

Along this incredible journey, Sinful Lilly has had the pleasure of sharing the bill with the following artists: Ace Frehley, Beasto Blanco, Blackfoot, Bullet Boys, Crazy Town, Davey Suicide, Doyle, Gus G, Jackyl, John 5, L.A. Guns, Last in Line, Michale Graves, Saliva, Slipknot’s Sid Wilson, Stephen Pearcy, Vinnie Moore, and Wednesday 13.

After the release of the 2018 single “Wait Your Turn” Fredi and Nikki teamed up with drummer Jimmy Wooten (Skinmask, Gears) to hit the road for a small run with Beasto Blanco on their 2018 “Monstrous Things Tour.” 2019 saw Sinful Lilly hitting the road as direct support for the very successful “American Monsters Tour.” Following that tour, the boys hit the studio for a Ceepy Kool-Aid Groovy version of the Cramps - "Human Fly" and the video is a trip in itself. After a well-deserved hiatus from the stage and working as studio musicians recording with other artists. Sinful Lilly has turned their focus back on finishing up studio tracks for their next EP. With new music coming out in the Spring of 2024 and the EP due out in the Fall, the band is gearing up to hit the stage again!!
