I’ve been enamored with She & Him ever since i heard that Zooey was releasing an album. I love the whole retro Blues/ Jazz sound that is coming back from acts like The Submarines.

Set List:

1. Black Hole
2. Change Is Hard
3. I Was Made for You
4. Sentimental Heart
5. You Really Got a Hold On Me
6. Take It Back
7. Got Me
8. Untitled
9. I Thought I Saw Your Face
10. This Is Not a Test
11. Why Do You Let Me Stay Here? (w/ Jason Schwartzman on piano)
12. Sweet Darlin’ (w/ Jason Schwartzman on guitar)

Encore:

13. One Magic Trick
14. Bring It On Home to Me
15. I Put a Spell on You

She & Him would be one of those bands i would check back with after they play a few more gigs. Zooey looked really nervous and uncomfortable and at times she didn’t know what to do with her hands. It was only when she grasped the tambourine did she seem to get into the momentum of the songs. My favorite songs from the night would probably be “you really got a hold on me” and “take it back”. Both tracks were performed with just M. Ward and Zooey and it felt like simplicity was how they did it best.
