Three really-Tribune-3-down-1-to-goal-that’s-the-best-you-can-do reasons to put on something pretty and pedal on down to Pritzker Pavilion this early evening…

1. Installment three of the ever popular Downtown Sounds features none other than She & Him. In case you just crawled out from under a rock, stretched, rubbed your eyes, flipped open your laptop, and came to our little site, the He is M. Ward of M. Ward fame and the She is Zooey Deschanel, star of many a moving picture. You’ve every right to be skeptical of the actor/actress fronted band, but this isn’t Bruce Willis or Dogstar. Zooey actual might be a more engaging singer than actress. And who are you to judge, Mr. I Live Under A Rock? Of all things to live under you chose a rock?

2. Chicago’s own girl band meets girl punk band meets girl garage band Hollows open up with their girl-group-meets-punk-meets-garage tunes. Nobody does girl group meets punk meets garage any better than these ladies. Ronnie Spector singing the Munsters theme? Pretty much, yeah.

3. Did you know some bands still make videos? MTV certainly doesn’t show any, but from what I gather the Youtube does and sometimes people actually sit down for up to 4 minutes at a time and watch them. If they really like them, they send what is called a link to their friends who then, I guess, watch them as well. Seems far-fetched to me, but She And Him have a video for “In the Sun” off of their second album, the cleverly named Volume 2, and you can watch it if you have time. Look:
