I think I first heard about Rilo Kiley reading an Elvis Costello article where he praised them. Then I read about them in Mojo magazine and they sounded interesting enough for me to go out and buy their CD. The trouble is once I head them I was hooked. Rilo Kiley was one of those bands I had to go looking for all their earlier stuff because they really got to me. And what a wealth of material they have. But when I talk about them to people they've got no idea who they are.
No hit singles or hit albums. Never toured Australia. Hardly played on the radio. The only videos I could find were live performances so you won't see them on Video Hits or even Rage. But they are a fantastic band. i don't want to keep them a secret. I play this song and it's accompanying album to as many people as I can.
A few people heard this song because it was on a few TV shows. It's witty and clever and just so bloody good.
