For the closing night of Noise Pop, the hottest ticket by a landslide belonged to She & Him at Great American Music Hall, the first bona fide public live show for the Zooey Deschanel/M.Ward collaboration. That's right. The first.

After three days of indie rock shows, it was unquestionably time for some electric dancefloor pandemonium. At Mighty last night, Toronto-based electro duo MSTRKRFT valiantly employed a trilling treble, thundering bass, and a bottle of Crown Royal to get concertgoers writhing, gyrating, and going all kinds of psychotic in the club.

Berkeley's Morning Benders helped get things started at the Independent on Noise Pop's second night, offering some reassuring audience endorsement courtesy of frontman (and male version of Winnie Cooper) Chris Chu, who introduced set standout "A Song" thusly: "We think you'll like it; you're not assholes."

The sixteenth annual Noise Pop music fest kicked off last night with a rather muffled bang at the Independent for a sold-out show where the Walkmen and the Broken West traded live staples for amorphous, nameless new tracks.
