Rilo Kiley, the former indie folk pop darlings and current major label attraction return to Austin this Monday for a performance that is sure to please. Led by the beautifully passionate vocal style of former actress Jenny Lewis, the band's last two albums have been praised by the likes of Rolling Stone and Spin magazine, and even their side projects have garnered a wide audience. The infectiously fun Thao & The Get Down Stay Down have been gaining attention on the strength of their second album, best described as charming indie pop with sugar-coated hooks. Harmonious singer/songwriter Benji Hughes opens.

It wasn't that long ago that Rilo Kiley—anchored by guitarists-vocalists Blake Sennett and Jenny Lewis—was the darling of the indie scene. The group's name connoted an in-the-know cachet for those who could rattle off their favorite tracks from 2004's More Adventurous. While the band's fortunes haven't completely reversed, last year's Under The Blacklight—Rilo Kiley's major-label debut—put them in decline. Greeted indifferently (or hostilely) by fans, it found the group expanding into Fleetwood Mac soft-rock territory. Still, Rilo Kiley was expanding its boundaries, and the album is a grower that seems destined to earn more respect over time. As live shows have proven since, the bolder new material is easily the band's best. Opening: Thao With The Get Down Stay Down.
