| Video Discription | Full article, video interview and podcast https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/entertainment/music/sd-et-music-casbah-rock-music-club-turns-thirty-20181212-story.html Since opening 30 years ago this month, the Casbah has hosted performances by everyone from St. Vincent, Nirvana, White Stripes and the Black Keys to Arcade Fire, Smashing Pumpkins, The Killers and No Doubt. The pioneering San Diego alternative rock-music venue has also showcased scores of San Diego area bands, including Rocket From The Crypt, Three Mile Pilot, Creedle, Pinback, Earthless, Little Hurricane, The Schizophonics, The Redwoods Revue and Tijuana’s Nortec Collective. Many fans proudly embrace this cozy nightclub as a local treasure that has deservedly earned a national reputation. Casbah co-founder Tim Mays says the 175-capacity venue’s intimacy is a key reason for its longevity. “To me, the Casbah is my home away from home. I could walk around here, blindfolded, and not bump into anything. … When I come here to see a show, it’s like watching it in my living room,” said Mays, a 1980 San Diego State University telecommunications graduate who grew up in Barstow. That homey feeling is also cherished by longtime Casbah-goers and recent initiates alike. It’s a feeling the Casbah’s three co-founders — Mays, Peter Verbrugge and Bob Bennett — nurtured virtually since the club’s inception. “To me, the Casbah is family at this point and it definitely feels like home,” said guitarist Andrew McKeag, 49, who was still in high school when he first performed at the Casbah with the band Liquid Sunshine. “It was like I met my favorite new older brothers that I didn’t have! I mean, Tim and Bob and Peter became mentors, in a way. They knew cool clothing. They knew cool music. They knew cool cars. They threw cool parties! It just seemed like a natural fit and really it was a place to hang with your people. … After I turned 21, I went to every show there that I could.” In addition to now leading his own group, McKeag is a member of Dirty Sweet, Lady Dottie & The Diamonds and Uncle Joe’s Big ’Ol Driver, which performs Saturday at the Casbah and is one of nearly a dozen San Diego bands reuniting to play this month as part of the club’s monthlong 30th anniversary celebration. The lineup also includes Dani Bell and her band, The Tarantist, which performs Jan. 25 at the Casbah. Bell, 25, is several decades younger than McKeag and Mays, but the club’s allure for her is much the same. |
