I forgot about Rilo! I wasn't sure if they were planning any gigs this year, since they're in the studio, and Blenny had their respective solo tours, etc. I'd kill to see Rilo. I'd also have to kick some sceniebopper ass, but oh well. And I'd love to see The Arcade Fire, as well.

I also forgot that I'm going to see The Matches in a few weeks with a friend of mine. Should be fun.

Apparently, 06 was the year of the solo projects and 07 is the year of the Kiley, according to the lovely Blake. The album's pretty much done, supposedly (working with some LA producer). The album probably got pushed to the summer since Warner Bros. is releasing it and doesn't want to compete with publicity for all the other big time spring releases (Bright Eyes, Modest Mouse, Arcade Fire, etc) so I'm guessing late spring/early summer they will start touring. They're back to their band full time now. Morgan said they did a cover of one of Whispertown's songs, Goodbye Baby, and it's a "B side" which means it didn't make the album, which means they already know what's going to be on the album, in theory. Also one of my myspace friends plays horn for them and first week in February said he'd just put down a horn track for one of the new songs and apparently it's kick ass, and he hadn't heard the rest of the album but it should be like 10,000 kinds of amazing based on what he heard on that one song. Gah, I can't wait.

Kick that sceniebopper ass, Kate! I know you could do it. Don't worry, they'll tour this year. I just found out Arcade Fire is coming to Asheville like TODAY and I'm sort of freaking out about it. It's unhealthy.

Well, I don't think it will be that hard. They don't eat much

I'm really, really excited about the Rilo. Thanks for all the info! I can only hope they play in our little rustbelt ****hole. & have fun at the Arcade Fire.
