San Diego bands often start out here, then move out of town. One of the great ones to do this in recent history is Writer, whom packed up to move to Brooklyn for music and art pursuits. Also known as the Brothers Ralph, the duo are back into town to pack the Soda Bar with their adoring fans and great friends alike. Joined by Mrs. Magician and Illuminauts -- this is going to be a night of awesome music and good people. I give you permission to make as many Brooklyn hipster jokes throughout the night.
