A principios de la pasada década surgió en Los Ángeles un grupo de indie rock de acordes gentiles, dulces vocalizaciones y tremendas canciones llamado Rilo Kiley , quienes en poco tiempo consiguieron posicionarse como uno de los grupos más nombrados del indie gracias a sus colaboraciones con The Elected y The Postal Service , además de la poderosa y atractiva imagen de su vocalista, Jenny Lewis . La banda editó a mediados del 2007 su cuarta producción de estudio bajo el nombre de Under [...]
This song off of Outer South is actually written and sung by the drummer of the Mystic Valley Band Jason Boesel, who was touring with Rilo Kiley when they opened up for Bright Eyes and he and Oberst struck up a friendship that led to him joining the band.
Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News Jenny and Johnny would have killed in the late '60s, when the Laurel Canyon section of Los Angeles, their adopted hometown, was filled with the kinds of young, freaky country-rock songwriters they're so keen on emulating, but they would have fared just as well 25 years later. Opening Sunday for '90s indie institution Pavement at the Williamsburg Waterfront in Brooklyn, N.Y., the quartet led by Jenny Lewis [...]
This is a new playlist that offers the non-restrictive type of playlist mix in which all of the songs have one thing in common: they are from sweet new releases from a variety of artists and bands that are not necessarily "big" in the alternative music worlds. All of the songs in this mix caught [...] Related posts:Band of the Week: Dark Dark Dark Has New EP, Sophomore LP in Process and Three Upcoming SXSW Shows Random Order Playlist, Vol. I: A Classic Education, Short Circuit, Metal on Metal, Mommyheads, Dark Dark Dark, Vinegar Socks Best Rarely Heard [...]

The five-year-old artistic affair between Jenny Lewis and Johnathon Rice has borne a child — "We're Having Fun Now," the forthcoming full-length from the duo going by Jenny and Johnny . They released a teaser track this afternoon, the undeniably catchy "Scissor Runner," and you haven't heard anything like it since ... well, since Evan Dando and Juliana Hatfield teamed up on "It's a Shame About Ray"? Anyway, the back story goes like this: After Conor Oberst introduced the couple back in '05, Rice played on Lewis' "Rabbit Fur Coat;" Lewis contributed to Rice's "Further [...]

Filed under: News , New Music From collaborating with Brandon Flowers to being Rilo Kiley' s frontwoman, Jenny Lewis seems to love juggling tons of projects. And now she's enlisted her boyfriend and backing band member Johnathan Rice for her next album, TwentyFourBit reports. Playfully called Jenny and Johnny, the duo has already booked gigs in Boston, Brooklyn and Philadelphia for the fall and set up an official website where people can sign up for band updates. While this [...]
Last night's show at the Troubadour was super sweet. The highlight for me was seeing Cory Chisel work the room, crisply present yet smooth as mellow tobacco. Ever gracious and humble, Chisel masterfully plied the crowd, alternating between high-energy, full-band rockers and introspective solo or duet pieces (joined by lovely Adriel Harris). He shared one [...]

Slow Club , the U.K. duo gaining attention for its quavering folk-pop, makes its L.A. debut tonight at Spaceland. The band's debut album "Yeah So" is due March 30 on Moshi Moshi Records. ... More beautiful folk at the Troubadour, where Dawes , Cory Chisel and the Wandering Sons and Jason Boesel perform. ... It'll be considerably louder at the Echoplex, where Black Rebel Motorcycle Club plays the first of its three sold-out dates. The Whigs open for the first two of those. ...

Date 3/6/10 Location Emos Doors 9pm Tickets $10 @ Ticketweb The last time we caught Dawes , they were winning over the audience opening up for Delta Spirit . Now they're headlining their own set up at Emos this weekend, bringing you their blend of Americana and California-tinged bluegrass. Luckily, the openers [...]

I can't think of a nicer way to reward oneself for making it this far through a cold and nasty Boston winter than with heartfelt heartland Americana and a warm blast of California sunshine. What an inspired triple bill: Jason Boesel along with his friends from Dawes plus Corey Chisel & the Wandering Sons . Friday night was a beautiful evening of music that felt like a big, warm hug. Rather than trying to impress with bombastic enthusiasm that often feels forced, all three bands presented their music with finely crafted [...]

Dawes are coming to play Zanzabar on February 26th. Not sure how much it will cost, but I'll update once I find out. Cory Chisel & The Wandering Sons and Jason Boesel will open. Dawes hail from Los Angeles and are touring in support of their debut record, North Hills. You can give them a listen on myspace . [...]
It's a roots rock extravaganza at the hippest club in town for a bargain basement price. Not only that, but that hip club, Johnny Brenda's , actually lets you know each band's set time... in advance! So come on out Wednesday night for three full sets at 9, 10 and 11 for the low, low price of $12.00. 9:00 - Kicking off the night's festivities is Jason Boesel, the former Rilo Kiley drummer whose husky drawl sits comfortably between a laid back Robert Earl Keen or an amped-up Townes van Zandt. There's a lot of West Texas [...]

A triple threat of shows in NYC this week!

</a Jason Boesel has spent years looking at the butts of Jenny Lewis (Rilo Kiley), Conor Oberst (Bright Eyes) and Ben Lee - now it's time for the drummer to step out of the shadow and up to the mike. On January 12, Boesel released his first solo album, Hustler's Son , on Oberst's Team Love Records. Difficult to catagorize, Boesel's material is in the same post-alt.country (did I just make up a new genre?) league as [...]
1. Un hommage à E.C. Ball incite à en savoir plus sur ce pionnier du country-folk traditionnel. Enregistrés pour la première fois en 1937 par John Lomax, Estil Cortez Ball et son épouse Orna dédiaient leur talent au gospel mais leur répertoire (dont une bonne partie est écrit de leur plume) allait bien au-delà. Parmi les artistes réunis sur Face A Frowning World: An E.C. Ball Memorial Album (
