She & Him

She & Him Fox Theater Oakland May 29th 2010

I absolutely love this theater, I have seen Green Day there, Regina Spektor, and now She & Him, all amazing. So She & Him, if you don't already know is comprised of Zooey Deschanel ( dunno if right spelling to lazy to check) and M Ward. They met during a film I believe and made a song together and then it just worked with them so they made more awesome music!

The video above is of Zooey singing I put a spell on you , a cover, like most of their songs are, or some. It is so nice hearing her voice, not everyone likes it but some do and she is adorable with her dress and dancing. During the concert she kept talking in between songs but no one could hear her! Eventually someone yelled out at her to speak up and then she spoke the rest of the night and was very funny and a little bit awkward.

The songs were all really nice live too. There was an interesting opening act which was these two blonde sisters and a guitar and banjo. They had amazing soothing voices, that reminded me of the sixties. No electrical instruments in the back.

There were a lot of interesting people standing around me and my sister too. They were all having interesting conversations or not talking at all but they were fun to watch during the long standing waits between opening act and She & Him and before the opening act. Lots of waiting around but such a beautiful theater that everyone HAS TO GO TO. RIGHT NOW GO TO THE WEBSITE AND SEE IF THERE IS ANYONE YOU WANNA SEE AND GET GENERAL ADMISSION there is also a bar! http://www.thefoxoakland.com/

There were two encores, and most people seemed to leave after the first encore but we were smart and got to get closer to the stage after some people left for the next encore, which has the song above in the video. The best part. okay then goodnight!
