Last night I went to First Ave to see Zooey Deschanel and M. Ward’s band She & Him. I wasn’t expecting the show to be all that great but I was pleasantly surprised. Happy is probably the best word I can think of to decribe the show. On a few occasions I found myself completly at ease with a smile on my face. Zooey’s vocals were impressive (much better live then on the album) and their backup band was very tight. I can see Zooey having a successful career in both movies and music.
