Jenny Lewis

I've got to admit that I'd not heard of her before listening to a local radio station that was playing her new single as their song of the week. These two songs I think are great, with the first video being quite cool too, (I love Anne Hathaway anyway, but she looks great as a guy!!). An album I'll be buying for sure:

Elx

Who's the keyboard player?!!...my type of woman..

hubobulous

That's Anne Hathaway, she of acting fame. Along with Kristen Stewart on guitar, (she of Twilight movies), and Brie Larson on bass.

Thanks. I am obviously out of touch with the latest developments in the celebrity world

I mostly prefer her time with Rilo Kiley, but the first couple of solo albums have some good stuff on, I wasn't quite so thrilled with Jenny and Johnny

hubobulous

The more I hear, the more I love her voice

Heard her solo albums on spotify, a few years back and was really impressed. One of my favourite tracks is with Elvis Costello as Paul_C posted above. Also this Rilo Kiley track stood out for me She also appeared as vocalist on The Postal Service album called Give Up. Definitely worth a listen if you haven't heard it.

I listened to the first track and thought very Sheryl Crow. No idea how typical a track that is but t'was her voice as much as the song. Certainly in that AOR ballpark.

@hubobulous

I'm the same as @Elx

I wouldn't have known who they are to look at, is the Drummer also an actress? I'd not even heard of Jenny Lewis before either. She's good though and they're all gorgeous ain't they?

hubobulous

Yeah, I have no idea on the drummer. But, she's probably been hired for the video cos she's not so talented, good looking, charismatic, rhythmic or popular as the others.

...that's drummers though huh?

Yeah, just curious, I thought they'd gotten an actress for each band member or something. The names I recognise (Ann Hathaway and Kristen Stewart etc), but it wouldn't have clicked who they were from watching it.

Ta!

Paul_C

google says she's Tennessee Thomas, daughter of the always superb Pete, so the same lady who's drumming, along with her Dad, in the Carpetbaggers video above (and below)

Paul_C

apparently she was in Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, so she's an actress too.

absolutely hopeless when Deano left
