[review] from

on friday night, i attended the rilo kiley record release show at the
john anson ford amphitheater. random thoughts:
-best outdoor venue for a show. there's no such as a bad thing as bad
seat; its very iminate and casual.
-rilo kiley had free face paintings, snow cones, and balloon animals. so
just imagine all of the la hip kids eating snow cones and holding
balloon doggies and dancing.
-no 'the oc' kids spotted or at least i did not see any. apparently
tobey magiure was there, i believe i'm at the point with tobey magiure
where i can't recongize him unless he's wearing the spider man costume
or next to kirsten dumpst, which is sad. i did see two thirds of the
sexy band, the like; although i always see their drummer at rilo kiley
shows, so it doesn't count.
-the napolean effect; yeah, scene kids are dressing like him now, cept
they're not rocking the snow boots yet.
-drinking some brews + ben gibbard acoustic=good times; although before
i had my drink, i was on the verge of falling asleep during his set.
everybody else woke up when jimmy tamborello and jenny lewis joined the
stage for "such great heights." well, i assume that everybody was
falling asleep during his set, but they probably weren't, if anything,
rilo and death cab should probably tour together.
-rilo kiley did alot of new songs; they're good. they did mostly jenny
songs; only two blake songs. they sounded good and they could be, i
shudder to say this, but they could be vh-1 darlings, which i wouldn't
mind because the less 14 year old kids at shows, the better i feel. all
ages show=i feel super old; 21+ shows=feel super young. |
