Joshua Epstein and Daniel Zott have been on quite a ride since their collaborative side project Dale Earnhardt Jr Jr took off in 2011. Last fall their intense touring schedule brought them to Iceland for the Icelandic Airwaves festival, and during a day trip they shot the ridiculously beautiful video above with help from IFC.
DEJJ are back in the states now, and they're making a Western loop with a stop at Soda Bar on Wednesday, February 1st. Local upstart Tourism will open the show, and you can grab your tickets here. If you haven't seen these two live yet, you need to!

So Say We All, the local arts non-profit is teaming up with Habitat House to present a collection of highlights from the last 3 years of their live literary showcases. This Sunday, each writer will perform a live reading of their essay and ten visual artists matched up with one of the writers will exhibit work inspired by each essay. Doors will open at 6pm and the readings will begin promptly at 7pm. Make sure to be on time as the living room will fill up quick. Donations will be accepted for So Say We All and while it’s not mandatory, they sure would appreciate it. For a full list of artists and writers click here.

The Howls are prepping to release their debut full length this month at The Casbah, and they've been kind enough to preview a couple tracks with us. Check out Weight and Vacation below, and be sure to snag your tickets early to their January 27th release show. Rumor has it that Sara Watkins from Nickel Creek will be joining them for a few songs.

We've finally recovered from our New Year's Eve bash at Luce Loft and our good buddy Tommy McAdams just dropped off a batch of great photos documenting the evening. Click through to Sezio's Facebook Page to view all of the photobooth and party pics. Here's to a great year!

The brothers Ralph of Writer are packing up their things for an extended stint on the east coast in New York. San Diego is losing a terrific pair of artists and musicians, and we're pretty sad but also excited for what the future holds for these two. Your last chance to catch Writer live (for a while at least) will be this Friday, January 6th at the Tower Bar with Chairs Missing and Illuminauts.
New Yorkers can welcome Andy and Jayme at Glasslands on January 25th or at the Mercury Lounge on February 9th.
Here's a look back at one of our favorite performances:
