+ Rilo Kiley - Rilo Who-ley?


Rilo Kiley simply put, is an indie rock band from California consisting of four members:
Blake Sennett - guitar & vocals
Pierre de Reeder - bass & guitar
Jason Boesel - drums
Jenny Lewis - vocals & keyboard (!)

Wait, it can't be that Jenny Lewis can it? The one who stole millions of young NES fan's hearts with her firecracker portrayal as Haley in The Wizard? The same Jenny "He touched my breasts" Lewis? Unbelievable. I've seen their band name mentioned a few times on Ozma's website and never gave them a second thought. Finally, after seeing the name Rilo Kiley as a supporting act for the 20th time, I decided to check out their website.

The site itself has the standard bio/press release/tour info as well as songs available for download. The songs sound like, well they sound exactly like Haley sounds in my dreams, I mean... If nothing else, they're worth a listen just for her role in The Wizard, a fan of this genre and the NES however, will have a field day.

Overall, the only way I would have been ecstatic is if she was singing about frog suits, truckers having a code, and how dreamy Fred Savage is.
