Tilly and the Wall: From "Sesame Street" to "90210"

Tilly and the Wall: From "Sesame Street" to "90210"

On September 2, look out for a whole new gang down in Beverly Hills.

Nah, not the cast of "90210", the craptastical-looking 21st century rehash of the iconic 1990s teen drama-- though they'll certainly be there that night for their two-hour series premiere on the CW. I'm talking Omaha popsters Tilly and the Wall, who will join the new crew to perform "Pot Kettle Black"-- from June's O-- at "a character's not-so-sweet sixteen." You know, I've never been a big fan of alternative music rubbing elbows with vacuous mainstream television, but those guys are gonna rock the house.

Tilly have yet another forthcoming appearance on your telly, and this one certainly suits their M.O. a little better. As previously reported, they'll teach one and all their ABCs on a fall episode of "Sesame Street".

Before all that, though, they've got a few new letters to brush up on: CSS, for whom they'll open on a handful of tour dates next month. Then it's off to the UK in October.
