w/ Nada Surf, Ozma, the scaries

[review]


I just saw my first Kiley show last night. It was quite impressive. I actually just moved to NC after graduating from college in NY. So it was quite cool when I found out that Nada Surf/Ozma/Rilo Kiley were playing nearby. I've listened to all of the Kiley albums quite a bit, but I didn't know anything about the band itself. So it was really nice to get to see them in action.

I was at the front of the stage right in front of Blake. Damn, that kid can play. I thought he really used the various effects on his guitar extremely well. And Jenny. Wow, what can I say. How cool is this girl? And, man, could she BE any hotter? ... sorry... Really great musician, she is. All of them are.

My favorite moment was when they played my favorite song, Pictures of Success. Outstanding.
