[review] from

after receiving some major buzz from two of the blogsphere's top
writers (whatevs & stereogum), rilo kiley took the stage tuesday night
at an amoeba. the set list mostly pulled from their excellent new album,
"more adventurous"; for those purtists and fans of technicalties, here's
the list, but not in order:
-"it's a hit"
-"does he love you?"
-"portions for foxes"
-"i never"
-"more adventurous"
-"love & war (11/11/46)
-"a man/me/then jim"
-"it just is"
the in store marked my third rilo show of the year; while i'll say that
their acoustic show in january had to have been my favorite show by
them; but it just seems with each performance and with a great record
behind them, they felt so much more confident on the stage. as sad as
its going to be for us, southern california kids, we're gonna have to
share rilo kiley with the rest of the world, but its okay because rilo
kiley are the nicest people in the whole wide world.
they signed autographs after their set. while getting my cd signed, me
and blake just started talking about the line and the fans and the
akwardness in conversation between musician and super fans. i mean, what
do you say, "hey, that song, "it just is," yeah, i had it in my head the
whole time i rushing in and out of the vet when my dog almost died, so
it means alot to me and i'm really gland that you wrote it." sure, they
would want to hear thanks, but it just seems weird.
if you haven't had the pleasure of a rilo kiley concert, then i highly
suggest you head down to ticketmaster to pick up for rilo kiley's return
home on october 30th at the glasshouse and on halloween at the mayan
(which is a great venue, i saw dj shadow there and supposedley, i'm on
his dvd, i'm the dude wearing the green trucker hat and an afro and it
was 2002, so it was still cool to wear trucker hats). |
