Rilo Kiley to Tour North America

Awwwwwwwwwwwwww. Okay, now I will make no further mention of Rilo Kiley's cuteness factor. You don't need me telling you that Jenny Lewis is adorable. This is Pitchfork, not Gawker.

Having just completed a tour of Europe supporting ex-labelmates Bright Eyes, Rilo Kiley (a band, not a person-- like, say, Jethro Tull) are going to journey across North America in further support of 2004's More Adventurous. In addition to spots at Coachella (not surprising) and Bonnaroo (surprising), they have a date with Coldplay in Vegas (cute to the extreme!).

If you'll compare this tour schedule with that of Bright Eyes, it seems like they're right on each other's heels. After five Bright Eyes shows at Webster Hall in New York, Rilo Kiley will play there for two nights. That's a week full of Saddle Creek-related action in NYC. Could this mean a blossoming romance between Conor and Jenny?! Maybe this is Gawker after all...no, no it's not. Please don't quote us on that-- it was a joke.
