Ivy Lies is an all-female New Zealand band. They are best known for their hit single "Addicted". Band members are Emla Palmer (lead vocals/rhythm guitar), Lisa Blatchford (bass/vocals), Rosie O'Connell (drums) and Mihka Chee (lead guitar/vocals).

This is where they met Mihka through a mutual friend and changed the band name to Ivy Lies.

Emla also justified the change of the band's name: "Starlett was a bit of
