Comic Dave Foley, who noticed Rilo Kiley carry out their first-ever gig at Los Angeles’ Spaceland in 1998, recalled seeing the band in a statement: “They were good, so good that I stopped fighting for the attention of the bartender and turned to see who it was.
“On stage was a very young, delightfully unpretentious group named Rilo Kiley.” He added, “Between songs, they were charming, smart, and funny. During the songs they were brilliant. After the set, I introduced myself and learned that this was their first public performance. I was astonished.”
Foley continued: “They invited me back to their rehearsal space for Thai food and to hear some songs they didn’t have room for in the set. Dreamily, I filled my belly with noodles and my head with one great song after another. I was in a full-on, pop music fan swoon. Having decided to force me into their lives, I suggested (insisted) that I should fund a demo recording.

“They relented. I also tried to talk them into changing the band’s name. They were unrelenting. A lot of years have passed. I remain proud to know Rilo Kiley and grateful that I had the opportunity and ability to be of some help.”
