Out of the hundred people that crammed Subtext Gallery's courtyard Saturday night, I'd venutre to say 85% percent of them had the same piano riff lodged into their brain for the remainder of the weekend. Andy and James Ralph of Writer played a six song set of all new material, the below track written just hours before the show. Enjoy Cash For Gold.
The brother's Ralph confirmed they'll be recording new material as a two piece throughout January and February. Catch Writer next when they open for Tape Deck Mountain at Soda Bar, November 17th.
Big thanks to Charles Bergquist for having his camera handy!

San Diego based photographers Sarah Yates and Lou Mora share quite a few things in life; a dog with a hyphenated last name, an obsession with the Ace Hotel in Palm Springs and recently a new blog. Birds of a Feather highlights the massive skills possessed by both Sarah and Lou and also serves as a release from their professions as photographers.

If you've spent any significant amount of time in Ocean Beach, you've probably seen or met one of the nicest, most talented guys to grace San Diego with their presence. Whether at Winston's, the OB Street Fair or on the rooftop of 2114 Ebers, Jordan Loder has been a staple in San Diego's Reggae scene throughout this decade.
Tonight Jordan and a crew of friends will be playing at Kava Lounge around 10pm. Loder is in town for one night only so cruise down, hang out and please be happy.

They say you don't know what you have until it's gone, and San Diego learned the hard way when The Museum of Contemporary Art took a summer vacation from their Thursday Night Thing. It's become a staple over the last few years and thankfully, this Thursday marks its return with a stacked cast to celebrate. The long-awaited exhibition of Tara Donovan is opening, featuring beautiful installations made with common objects (the above image is made with styrofoam cups and hot glue) and Dave Adey will be showing and directing an art activity. There will also be performances by musicians Money Mark and Birds & Batteries, and by balloon artist Addi Somekh. Come celebrate all of the hard work that MCA has done to provide good art, music, and community gathering in our city.
Thursday November 5th, 7-10 PM at MCA Downtown. Pre-sale tickets and more information at the MCASD Website.
