About
Every year the Jim Rao Fan Club takes over the Casbah for an all-afternoon marathon of San Diego's underground punk and hardcore scene. The 2026 edition on July 11 runs from 2:30 PM until late, with ten bands: The Grim, Ministry of Truth, Infirmities, Total Massacre, One Square Mile, Celebrity Stalker, VFMS, Santa Claus, Sorry Dogs, and Kid Galahad and the Eternals.
This is not a showcase for bands angling for a record deal. This is the San Diego punk scene gathering because it wants to -- a room where everyone knows half the bands because they've been in some of them, where the afternoon light through the Casbah's windows gives way to the controlled chaos that ten bands into a punk afternoon reliably produces.
Tickets are . Doors open at 2 PM, show starts at 2:30. The Casbah keeps it tight: small capacity, good sound, no pretense. The Jim Rao Fan Club matinee is one of those San Diego traditions that perpetuates itself by being exactly what it is every year -- loud, local, and worth a Saturday afternoon.
