My other complaint goes directly to Dynamite Walls. You guys are all great, so this isn't personal in any way, but that big obnoxious white sheet on stage for your projection images looks really cool when you're onstage, but it's actually the ugliest backdrop ever for the other bands who are forced to play in front of it. On your headlining nights, I say go for it. But on this night, it felt like thunder stealing. The Casbah is famous for the awesome black tufted naugahyde cushions along the back wall and when in pictures, that is replaced by a plain white sheet, it's just kinda lame. Maybe you can turn it somehow into a roman curtain that you can lower for just your set?? Or maybe some tiebacks?
So onto the show, which had Dynamite Walls in the dark with their projected visuals on them. So of course, I used flash to capture just a couple pictures.





I'd be lying if I said I caught most of their set because in reality I spent most of it on the patio with the guys from Republic of Letters and Illinois and other friends just enjoying a great Casbah turnout for a Saturday Night. Our supportive local scene is thriving, people...we should all be proud to be a part of it in anyway.

I see your point about the projection sheet, but actually i was digging it because it made my photos of Republic of Letters turn out much better. Without flash, and with a dark background and terribly low lights, any band member whose hair happens to be anything but platinum blonde just blends into the background. It's kind of a nightmare.
