• Rilo Kiley Shakes Their "Moneymaker"!

  Update: Click the image for photos from the Rilo Kiley show. It was a wonderful evening at The Grove of Anaheim: lady lead singers with incredible voices and endless musical talents – backed by the boys who love them. Grand Ole Party jolted the evening forward with cutie pie, Kristen Gundred owning the shit out of her drum set and with a killer Karen O-esque voice to boot! Later she would play percussion flawlessly alongside Rilo Kiley for a couple of songs. The Bird and the Bee created a m

• Coachella lineup to be announced today

  That's the word coming from a story in today's LA Times. Confirmed: My Morning Jacket, Rilo Kiley (who've never been as good as they were the night I saw them years ago at Chain Reaction--so long ago, the Weekly archives don't go back that far!), Jack Johnson, the Raconteurs, the Verve (of "Bittersweet Symphony" fame? Really? Who took their one hit and laughably thought they could sell out the then-Arrowhead Pond with it back in 1998? I know, I was there.) But it's weird. The lineup will be an

• Last Night: Rilo Kiley at the Glass House

  Rilo Kiley on April 24, 2008 at The Glass House By Gabriel Ryan Better Than: Driving all the way to Coachella and sweating your ass off. Download: Rilo Kiley's With Arms Outstretched I think last night was one of the most interesting Rilo Kiley shows I've ever attended. For one, the crowd was antsy because of technical difficulties throughout the set, and two, I don’t think half of the audience knew any of the songs played other than what was on the new album. The night started off with the

• Last Night: Black Keys and Grand Ole Party at HOB

  Better than: A ride on Space Mountain Anyone who’s seen The Black Keys at least once knows that a packed house filled with blues and body heat usually comes standard. And as I swung open the door to the House of Blues to find an audience crammed in like a can of sardines, I knew I was at the right concert. Last night, The Black Keys stopped in Anaheim during their U.S. tour, brining with them Grand Ole Party, a three pack of big beat rockers from San Diego. By the time I got a good look at

• Last Night: Jenny Lewis, Beachwood Sparks, Pierre de Reeder at the Orpheum Theatre

  Last Night: Jenny Lewis, Beachwood Sparks, Pierre de Reeder at the Orpheum Theatre in Los Angeles, Oct. 30, 2008. Better Than: Staying home and watching the season premiere of "30 Rock." Which isn't a dis of "30 Rock," because that show is fantastic, it's a testament to how great this show was. (Plus, real fans watched the seaprem on Hulu days ago.) Download: "Pull Me In Tighter," a non-album track from Rilo Kiley that sounds a lot like a precursor to Jenny Lewis solo work. People like Jenn

• TONIGHT: The Yost Returns with the Bird and the Bee and Melanoid

  We've written a lot about the resurrection of the historic Yost Theatre in downtown Santa Ana--now operated by Dennis Lluy and booked by Ashley Eckenweiler. It started with November's SoundDowntown, and continues tonight with a show from LA's delightful The Bird and the Bee. I last saw them in fall of 2007 opening for Rilo Kiley, and they were wonderful--and seemed like lovely people! I'm tickled to see them again even if their latest, last month's Ray Guns Are Not Just the Future, has rece

  Last Night: The Bird and the Bee, Melanoid, Stacy Clark at the Yost Theatre, Santa Ana, Feb. 26, 2009.Better than: Breaking into the Yost during its dormant period and attempting to put on your own show. Folks, that's illegal, and also pretty weird.Best fashion choice: The bow on Bird and the Bee singer Inara George's retro-chic black and white dress.Aside from a few--well, quite a few--snags with the sound during the Bird and the Bee's headlining set, the first show at the historic Yost Theatre

• 12 Things I'll Always Remember About Street Scene '09

  Beth Stirnaman​It's Monday morning and another Street Scene is officially in the books. And while it's important to note that this parking lot extravaganza of fog-filled stages, oddly eclectic line-ups, mind-altering drugs and festival food has reached it's 25th year, it's also worth mentioning that I'm no longer a stranger to this two-day Coachella by the sea. Although for anyone that was there, the temps this weekend were actually fit for a desert, or maybe Satan's ass crack. But harsh heat
