Wow, youd think Rilo Kiley would be toast by now. Singer/guitarist Blake Sennett is dating Winona Rydera walking jinx for practically every musician shes ever dated (and that list is looooong). And who wouldve guessed singer/multi-instrumentalist Jenny Lewispossessor of a burgeoning solo career and the ability to make indie-rock dudes (and crusty old rock critics) drool uncontrollably on her ownwould stick around this long? But the band is still together, is still touring behind last years Under the Blacklight, and is still, one would imagine, a stellar live act, at least based on Rilos impassioned Showbox gig last September. Im not a huge fan of the nü-wavish Blacklight, especially compared to the bands earlier, country-dusted indie-pop material, but the new songs sounded terrific that night and blended in quite well with the old; the band was completely into the performance; and the way-sold-out crowd was absolutely electric. Id expect similar fireworks tonight. With Whispertown 2000 and Michael Runion. MICHAEL ALAN GOLDBERG
