Origin of the band's name
On the syndicated radio show Loveline in August 2005, Sennett explained that he had a dream where he was being chased by a sports almanac and "when it got me, I leafed through it. Loveline is a syndicated radio call-in program in the United States, Canada and Mexico, offering medical and relationship . . and I came upon an Australian-rules football player from the 19th century named Rilo Kiley, it's kind of embarrassing. " When asked by co-host Drew Pinsky if he had ever seen this name in reality, Sennett said "I don't think so, I don't think that character exists. David Drew Pinsky (born September 4, 1958) is an American board-certified Internist and Addiction medicine specialist . . If you Google "Rilo Kiley" you just come back with a lot of pictures of us. " On how this imaginary name became the name for the band: "I wrote it down on a blotter, an office desk when I woke up, and, I don't know, I came back to it when we were trying to think of a name and we thought we'd use that for one show then change it, 'cause who'd want that name? Who can remember that anyway?"[6]
In 2005, Sennett told Planet Sound Teletext Magazine that the name came from a Scottish athlete. Planet Sound is a Teletext music page on ITV and Channel 4 in the UK. On a 2005 episode of the MSNBC entertainment show Hotlist, the female host states that the name "Rilo Kiley" comes from "old Scottish sports almanacs". MSNBC is a 24-hour cable television news channel based in the United States and available in Canada. In the interview segment that follows, Sennett states, "We just looked in there and the name of one of the star players from the turn of the century was Rilo Kiley. "
In an interview published in Q magazine in September 2007, Sennett offered this explanation: "Rilo Kiley is named after a character he'd met in a dream who had predicted the date of Jenny Lewis' death.
