Pop Quiz: Rilo Kiley

Aidin Vaziri | Despite doing the whole child-star thing with cameos on sitcoms like "Growing Pains" and "The Golden Girls," Jenny Lewis doesn't display any of the usual glue-sniffing side effects. As the singer for Rilo Kiley -- the Los Angeles band whose third album, "More Adventurous," is starting to explode -- she's become a critically lavished songwriter and indie-rock pinup. And things are only getting better. The band's next stop is a summer tour with Coldplay.

Q: Do you think the tour with Coldplay will be any better?
A: See, I don't think the conditions are going to change for us much. I think we'll keep it Best Western-focused, as we always do. But I do believe there will be catering, which is something we've never experienced before.
