An all-star lineup of indie bands will be performing at the Manifest Hope Gallery on Wednesday, August 27th, during the Democratic National Convention in Denver, CO. The Manifest Hope Gallery, hosted by artist Shepard Fairey and MovOn.org, will be displaying works by artists who support Barack Obama, and on Wednesday night San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom will host Unconventional '08, with musical performances on an outdoor stage with Nada Surf, Silversun Pickups, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Cold War Kids and DJ Z Trip. Tickets are free, and will be available at the gallery.

In addition, there will be an intimate (and invite-only) songwriter-in-the-round performance, featuring Ben Gibbard of Death Cab, Jenny Lewis of Rilo Kiley, Zooey Deschanel of She And Him, Matthew Caws of Nada Surf, and Jonathan Rice.

The Barsuk Records VINYL edition of the new Rilo Kiley record, more adventurous, which has an alternate version of the track a man/me/then jim, is now available in the shop.

Hear Jenny Lewis' opinion on cheese, meat and other food, plus watch clips from a live performance at The Jenville Show.
