Rilo Kiley @ Classic Grand

I'm not really going to say much about this gig. Myself, English Glen and Awkward Alistair journeyed on over to Glasgow for the night to join Philip and enjoy the bright lights - lights that Alistair, being a stumpy young lad from the country, naturally found a little too bright. But what about Jenny Lewis? Hmm...

The gig was good fun - Jenny Lewis was smokin', there were a lot of fat girls ironically singing along to old Rilo Kiley songs and it was a box ticked for most of us. Just as I feared though, I found myself a little tired of some tracks from newest album, Under The Blacklight, however, a gems like Pictures Of Success and The Execution Of All Things made the experience that little bit special. But apart from Jenny performing the smoke detector, these were the real highlights:

Highlight Number 1

Orenda Fink, seen above furthest left, was playing various backing rolls, not to mention also playing the smoke detector. (Hiyo!)

Highlight Number 2

After the gig who happened to be out gigging in her home city? The one and only Carey Lander of Camera Obscura fame. Naturally I asked for a photo, naturally she was bemused and naturally Philip chose the most awkward moment ever to forget how to take a basic picture with his Samsung camera. Oh well, as they say in St Andrews:

"One down, five to go."
