Eighteen years ago, the indie film star Zooey Deschanel started making music with the indie music star M. Ward. They called themselves She &amp; Him, and the first song that they recorded together was &#8220;I Thought I Saw Your Face Today,&#8221; a playfully mellow post-breakup song that Deschanel wrote. At the time, She &amp; Him&#8217;s debut album Volume One was well-received, and the duo have had a nice run as an intermittently active musical unit. But now, they&#8217;re bigger than they&#8217;ve ever been. Somehow, the TikTok kids found &#8220;I Thought I Saw Your Face Today.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This year, &#8220;I Thought I Saw Your Face Today&#8221; blew up and became She &amp; Him&#8217;s first-ever Hot 100 hit, climbing all the way to #40. She &amp; Him themselves didn&#8217;t do anything to bring this about. It&#8217;s just one of those things. But they&#8217;re taking advantage. Previously, the duo hadn&#8217;t played any live shows since 2022, when they released their Brian Wilson tribute album <a href=\"https:\/\/stereogum.com\/2187007\/she-him-darlin-beach-boys-cover\/music\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Melt Away<\/a>. Now, they&#8217;re gearing up for a tour that&#8217;ll take them to the <a href=\"https:\/\/stereogum.com\/2497736\/all-things-go-dc-announces-2026-lineup\/news\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">All Things Go<\/a> festival in September. <\/p>\n<p>Last night, She &amp; Him were Jimmy Kimmel Live! musical guests, and it was their first performance anywhere in almost four years. They sounded as warm and sweet as ever, and an already-nostalgic song now has an extra throwback patina to it. Below, check out their performance and their tour dates.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>TOUR DATES:<br \/>9\/20 &#8211; Chicago, IL @ Riviera Theatre<br \/>9\/22 &#8211; New York, NY @ The Town Hall<br \/>9\/24 &#8211; Boston, MA @ Wilbur Theatre<br \/>9\/26 &#8211; Columbia, MD @ Merriweather Post Pavillion<br \/>9\/28 &#8211; Portland, OR @ Revolution Hall<br \/>9\/29 &#8211; Seattle, WA @ Moore Theatre<br \/>10\/03 &#8211; Los Angeles, CA @ Orpheum Theatre Los Angeles<br \/>10\/05 &#8211; San Francisco, CA @ Castro Theatre<\/p>\n<p>Also, they&#8217;re doing vertical videos now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The mysterious TikTok gods have smiled upon She &amp; Him.
