WEDNESDAY  ARCHIVE  |  PEP SQUAD  MAILING LIST  GEAR  REQUEST LINE  ROCK DOC  CONNECT
on september 09, 2008 femme fatale jenny lewis (of rilo kiley, jenny lewis and the watson twins and  the postal service fame) released her sophomore solo effort acid tongue.  on which she was given the opportunity to collaborate with elvis costello, she & him, m ward; chris robinson (black crows), and her own family members.  the album finds influence in the rolling stones' sticky fingers, joni mitchell's court and spark, soul, blues and jazz resulting in indie pop bliss.

jenny wasn't always the indie rock glamour queen you see before you today.  she began her career in a jell-o commercial and as a child actor appeared in such films as: troop beverly hills; big girls don't cry, they get even; and perry mason: the case of the defiant daughter.  although i have never seen any of these screen gems, i would have to assume that she made the right choice in leaving acting for music.

click here to listen to a rilo kiley show from washington, d.c.'s 9:30 club on 26 september 2007.  to download a jenny lewis and the watson twins show from 16 october 2006, click here, then click "download the concert" on the left hand side of the screen.  click here to listen to an interview from fresh air on whyy recorded 06 march 2006.  don't forget, the album cover image always links to sample songs and the band's image to their website.

check back here to see if jenny lewis is coming to your town.

as always, please buy this album from your local independent music store by people who know and love music and not from retailers like wal-mart (soulless, globally-homogenizing, community-killers) or i-tunes (albums should be listened to as an entire composition with album cover and liner notes in hand).  incidentally, these two companies sell more music than any other retailer in the united states.  that my friend, bites.

jenny lewis rocks.

if you agree, please spread the word (about the band and this site).
