The Cave Singers return to the Casbah almost exactly a year after their last stop through the city.

You might have missed the Cave Singers the last time they were in town. They were opening for Fleet Foxes at Spreckels and since the show was sold out, you might have missed the little indie band. Tonight is your chance to make up for that mistake, because the Cave Singers are back at the Casbah, and though they rocked the big stage, I always prefer a band like them on the Casbah stage, where they can righteously rock out and take the whole room with them. With the Builders & the Butchers also performing, you know it's going to be an audience-participation kinda evening. Be prepared to play one of the band's tambourines or shakers for their epic sing-alongs.
