They are a pretty good band. I like em, they have a different sound. I can relate with a lot of their songs. What about you? Have you a. heard of them and b. like them?

Their name sounds familiar, but I don't think I've heard any of their songs. Any suggestions as to which ones I should check out?

i really love the songs a better son/daughter and the good that won't come out. =)

Another Rilo Kiley fan? I love Rilo Kiley. They mix so many different types of music into their songs, I think that they're amazing. My favorite song is Always &Science vs. Romance

Wow so many new bands..................................... are they like NEW in 2005? cause I never even heard of them

I've never heard of them....hmm...I'll check them out

no they're not new...

i've heard a lot about them, so this summer i listened to some thirty second clips on amazon, but they really didn't seem too impressive. they don't seem like a band you can really appreciate with thirty seconds clips, though (all the saddle creek catalouges hail them as "lyrically dense wonders"). wasn't the main singer a child star?

william, try going to purevolume or something, they may be on there. that way you can listen and download =)

actually, i'm already in the process of downloading the ones mentioned here on bearshare, but thanks anyways .

Does He Love You is ingenious. Rilo Kiley is amazing<3.

i love them!

Awesome I got a lot of snazzy new songs to download! =]

I'll give you guys a little history ...

Jenny Lewis (guitarist/lead singer) used to be a child star and is also at the moment in the Tamborello inspired group The Postal Service. You may notice her from the movie Pleasantville where she had a pretty hefty part. Blake Sennett (guitarist/lead singer) can also be recognized from the show Boy Meets World where he plays Joey the Rat. He was also from the show Salute Your Shorts.

heh never heard of 'em

but...but...but...why did you change from banddorko??

anyway, rilo kiley is ok. i was a bit dissappointed in them actually. i made the effort to listen to them after finding out that jenny lewis, the lead singer, did the back ups for the postal service (but she didnt do nothing better...) i think that if i listened to more of them than i had, theyd grow on me, but they werent what i wanted

i completely forgot you were in band and all that good stuff! well i explained it in the other thread, basically because i'm not going to be in band much longer and i decided that if i want to be a more active member i should at least have a name that is true...

grr.. my internet got all messed up in the process of downloading those songs. darn you charter!

super-ditto. i feel so out of touch

Ooh. I thought Rilo Kiley is one person.

dont quit band *sniff* but oh well, do keep posting more, you seem cool. and you have good taste in music. and make nice layouts. but how do you go about forgetting im in band with all that crap in my signiture? (which i need to change...)

WHO is this?

...a band

I love Rilo Kiley.

I've only heard one song, "Christmas Cake", at least that's what I think it's called... got it through a friend's LJ.

But yeah, I knew her voice sounded familiar but I couldn't place it! But now I know, hehehe.

Will make sure to download those songs y'all mentioned.

I love everything that comes from Saddle-Creek Records... I mean, it's good! Jenny Lewis is wonderful.... Tim Kasher is a god.... and Conor Oberst is great!


Go to saddle-creek.com to listen to some songs by any of the saddle-creek bands.

YES! my saddle creek shirt just came yesterday!

but only one of rilo kiley's cds has been released on saddle creek (the execution of all things). take offs and landings was released on barsuk, while their latest release, more adventurous, was released on warner brothers.

Yeah I like their song a lot. I LOVE "portion for foxes"

all her songs are very nice. you cant get tired of her songs. i just realized that now o_o;; shes the first singer who i dont get tired of her music o_o

Ahh, I remember making this topic. And I still love Rilo Kiley <3

"Portions For Foxes" is the only thing I've heard by them. I've got to listen to more! [: I'm diggin' them so far.

Rilo Kiley = <333333. I love "My Slumbering Heart".

The more I listen to them, the more I like them. On their first EP, "Frug" is really cute

I love "More Adventurous" and "Portions of Foxes"

I think "More Adventurous" was on the Wedding Crashers soundtrack

They've gotten a lot of play since "Portions For Foxes" was featured in Grey's Anatomy.

I think my favorite song has to be "A Better Son/Daughter". :)

Oh man! I haven't listened to them in a long time!


SCIENCE VS ROMANCE = <3
It always wins my heart~ =)
and it reminds me of you, deary! ~_^ (< I haven't used that smiley in a long ass time.)

*gasp* Am I the only person that isn't terribly fond of Rilo Kiley? My ex introduced me to them a long time ago (maybe that has to do with my lack of appreciation..?), but I just couldn't get into them. I liked the song "I Never." I thought (and still think) it's a catchy, cute little song. I think Jenny Lewis is adorable as well. Just overall, not my favorite band. I was thinking of checking out her solo album though. Has anyone had a listen yet?

Oh man, I remember this topic.

Anyways, yes I love Rilo Kiley. I cant really pick a favorite....

Her solo album is pretty good. Listen to "Melt Your Heart" if you like "I Never". The other stand out song is "You Are What You Love".

Don't bother with the solo album unless you either a) already like Rilo Kiley, which you don't seem to, or b) actually like country. I gave it a few listens, but just couldn't get into it. It was hard enough handling the country-ness of Rilo Kiley.
