She & Him, 'Volume Two'
Everyone agrees that She & Him, the unexpected project of Zooey Deschanel and M. Ward, is pretty great. It probably has something to do with the fact that Zooey has successfully charmed every single person in the world, but beyond her acting and dancing skills, this girl can totally sing.
She truly is the whole quirky indie dream girl package, minus that being married to Ben Gibbard thing.

Description:
So you kids like skin folding? Mmm. Yeah we knew you sickos would be into that. Good news is that L'Oreal's cultural program director is a total sicko and loves it too. So as part of the Craft Victoria launch for LMFF we can all get our fill of Adele Varcoe's skin origami. But just in case you're some normal person who prefers your skin crease free, there are plenty of other things happening at the launch like the collaborative exhibition between book sculptor Nicholas Jones and fashion designer Warren Harrison, as well as Limedrop's window installation and Kate James' anxiety art.

The Birmingham, 333 Smith St, Fitzroy

TONIGHT! Thurs March 4, doors 8pm
How much:
$6 on the door
Description:
If we've said one thing ever about The Hondas it's that they are total trashbags, but in the same cool way that Iggy Pop was. Hopped up all the time but still perfectly on point. Even if they do send us the version of their new single that they mixed when they were high and then retract it for the official version an entire day later.
