There are certain bands from Los Angeles that just never make it to San Diego. Whether they believe San Diego is too small or not a viable market, or maybe they just can't see past the L.A. bubble, it is disappointing that up-and-coming bands often ignore us. Other bands, like He's My Brother, She's My Sister, return time and time again, realizing that every show brings out a few more fans through word of mouth and suddenly they're seeing packed rooms in this town. Such will be the case on Thursday as the lively indie rockers return in all their foot-stomping singalong glory. Their tap dancer Lauren always turns heads and this lineup will be one that makes it worth your while to arrive early and stay late.
