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. https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/entertainment/music/sd-et-music-casbah-rock-music-club-turns-thirty-20181212-story.html
