Give me all the bacon and eggs you have

I knew this would come out sooner or later, but it doesn’t make me feel any better. RK is forever apart of my life. RIP Rilo.

Rilo Kiley are not on hiatus. They’re not taking a break. They are officially broken up. Following an extensive tour supporting the band’s last release, 2007’s ‘Under the Blacklight,’ the band reached a boiling point and never quite came back from it.

“I just felt like there was a lot of deception, disloyalty, greed and things I don’t really want to submit myself to,” guitarist Blake Sennett tells Spinner. “I had related that frustration to music but I just thought, ‘I’m not going to put myself in that position again,’ so I said, ‘F—- that, I can’t do this anymore.’”

“That being said,” he continues, “it was probably immature and that came from a place of ego. I think that stuff will rear its head in anything you do, depending on the personnel you surround yourself with; things change overtime and people change and relationships change.”

[…] Sennett says Rilo Kiley have a plethora of unreleased songs that might still see the light of day.

“I think we’re going to try and release a two-disc set of 40 songs, or something. I think that can be more considered like our last release, to me. But I don’t know.”
