Nobody's favourite band was famous at the point they found them. That discovery is the actual product of a room like this, and it only works if you go before you have heard of anyone.
So: two acts, early in whatever is going to happen to them, on a Wednesday in a room that has been giving this exact slot to people for decades. The upside of arriving this early is that the set is not yet a performance of itself — nothing is locked in, the between-song talking is unrehearsed, and if it goes well you will have been in the room for it. The downside is that sometimes it does not go well. That is the deal, and it is a fair one at this ticket price.
Doors seven-thirty, music eight-thirty.
October 21, Casbah, 2501 Kettner Blvd. Bring the friend who likes being first. Midweek bills in this city are where almost every band you will later claim to have discovered is playing right now.
