Es viernes y eso significa que el fin de semana por fin llegó, que todo el mundo se alista para salir de la oficina por dos largos días y que a nosotros nos toca presentar algunas de las actuaciones en vivo más especiales de los últimos días. Así que sin más preámbulos, aquí están. Durante todo este mes se llevará a cabo en el centro de arte The Roundhouse de Londres el Festival iTunes , patrocinado obviamente por la compañía dueña de dicho reproductor, Apple , y en el que [...]

The performance by Jenny and Johnny on Saturday night at the Music Box was something of a show by young lovers for young lovers. Jenny Lewis and Johnathan Rice, fronting a big band of stellar L.A. musicians, played songs from their debut "I'm Having Fun Now," and they looked like it. Photographer Jeff Koga sends along this gallery.
Jenny Lewis Preps Rilo Kiley B-Sides LP, Plays Kimmel w/Johnny Jenny Lewis and Johnathan Rice played two I'm Having Fun Now songs tonight for Jimmy Kimmel Live , including the above Lewis-led "My Pet Snakes" and this duet, "Scissor Runner," which the pretty pair premiered on TV for Conan last year. In other news, Lewis and Rice are planning to follow up their duo project with respective solo LPs, in addition to — and most intriguingly, to these ears — a Rilo Kiley B-sides release. [...]
Elbow - "Neat Little Rows" Directed by Mark Thomas. Soundstage performance of the first single with a great, bouncy piano line right in the chorus to make everything all shiny despite the dark lyrics. "Build A Rocket Boys!", Elbow's 5th studio album and follow up to their 2008 Mercury Prize winning album "Seldom Seen Kid" will be out in the UK March [...]
Watch: Jenny and Johnny - "Big Wave" (Official Video) In which the cute folk-pop-rock couple pick up where the first round of I'm Having Fun Now promo pictures took off — affectionately posing by their vintage station wagon — before venturing off into a collage of pretty visual effects and sleepy underwater imagery. Enjoy director/photographer Autumn de Wilde's "Big Wave" video treatment, which was premiered by Spin today, above. Meanwhile, you can still catch the duo live on tour in [...]
Jenny (Lewis) and Johnny (Rice) made their national television debut on Conan last night, performing I'm Having Fun Now single "Big Wave" with Lewis on lead vocals for the broadcast and a web-exclusive take on the Rice-led "Scissor Runner." While both renditions stay pretty faithful to their respective studio takes, the most notable bit arrives when the couple share the lead mic for some The Boss/Little Steven-esque harmonies in the outro of "Scissor Runner," which is, of course, adorbs. Enjoy both clips at the previous two links or below.
Jenny and Johnny should represent any music fan's wet dream bringing together the talent of Rilo Kiley's lovely Jenny Lewis and singer-songwriter Johnathan Rice. The resulting music is quite distant from the output you would associate with either artist and yet extremely logical given their much publicized relationship. Jenny and Johnny clearly don't believe in [...]

jenny and johnny - big wave [aka indie darlings jenny lewis and johnathan rice, these two talented singer/songwriters found a kindred love of catchy, melodic, fun songs and decided to merge their talents as 'jenny and johnny'. though the album has been out since late summer, i've only just gotten around to discovering their new incarnation and i have to say, their album 'i'm having fun now' is definitely addictive!] http://feeds.feedburner.com/Wo ngiesMusicWorld

Jenny and Johnny - "I'm Having Fun Now" // To clarify, this is not a Rilo Kiley record, or a Jenny Lewis record, or a Johnathan Rice record. This is Jenny and Johnny . They're having fun now, and they want you to, too.. - k
Watch: Jenny Lewis - "Just One of the Guys" (New Song) When she isn't singing with Belle & Sebastian , Rilo Kiley frontwoman Jenny Lewis has been touring with her boyfriend as Jenny and Johnny lately, performing cuts off their new record , adorbs "Love Hurts" covers , and her catchy new solo tune, "Just One of the Guys." For their Halloween gig at NOLA's House of Blues on Sunday night, Johnathan Rice and the boys apparently trick-or-treated as their redheaded leader. Here's a clip of the Jenny and Johnny Band [...]

Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News "You think in 10 years there'll be no more strip clubs in New York?" pondered Jenny Lewis halfway through her Jenny and Johnny set at New York's Irving Plaza. The crowd was caught momentarily off guard, but she clarified by stating "everyone needs a little smut sometimes." With that, Lewis and her partner in everything these days Johnathan Rice continued on with 'Just Like Zeus,' not [...]
A smooth sailing, easy to digest debut from this Los Angeles duo and power couple.

I was so disappointed with both the music on the last Rilo Kiley album and with Jenny Lewis' sex-kitten cavorting which accompanied the PR effort that I ended up developing a real dislike of the band. This is possibly due to me being a bit of dick I suppose, rather than any fault of the band, but I really didn't like the actual tunes much either so the results would have been much the same I guess. Anyhow this album, recorded by Jenny Lewis and her fella Johnathan Rice, seems to straddle the pop instincts of Rilo Kiley [...]

There have been many famous musical couples through time: Sonny and Cher, John and Yoko, Sid and Nancy, Simon and Garfunkel? (sorry I couldn't help myself) - and although California based lovebirds Jenny and Johnny don't seem poised to change the world they do seem to be having ALOT of fun making poppy indie music together. The couple has had a hand in each other's albums for years now but their recent release fully showcases their chemistry as they churn out modern sounding pop music with just enough of an edge to keep things respectable. The album jumps [...]
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 [...]
Indie darlings team up for pop and romance. Pop music - Arts - Music - Jenny Lewis - Romance

"There's something fundamentally romantic about every song on the album. It's like a very musical embrace of one another, you know, if you can stomach thirty-six minutes of that." There is a reason why Johnathan Rice - half of Jenny and Johnny and a solo musician in his own right - says that I'm Having Fun Now is a romantic record, and it has a lot to do with the other half: none other than Rice's long-term girlfriend Jenny Lewis . Also a solo star before creating Jenny and Johnny, Lewis [...]

To an objective observer, his talents should relegate [...]

As a project, Jenny & Johnny—despite the inherent cheesiness of its name and implications of a romantically involved duo playing music together—is an overwhelming success. It shouldn't be surprising to anyone that's seen the pair play together on the road during the Acid Tongue tour, with Rice making dynamic contributions to the funky and epic rock jam "The Next Messiah" and the occasional silly heart-on-the-sleeve cover "Love Hurts." Jenny Lewis, always spilling over with talent, works as well with beau Johnathan Rice as any other pairing to date from Blake Sennett to the Watson twins. On I'm [...]

Lately all the Jenny Lewis news has been about her new project with boyfriend Johnathan Rice, but looks like one of our favorite female voices has been double timing (not in that way, get your mind out of the gutter) with The Killers singer Brandon Flowers. Flowers is about to release his solo album Flamingo and the latest single "Hard Enough" features some well placed, albeit subtle, backup vocals from Lewis. You can preview the single below and look out for Flowers' new album out September 14th.
