There is no doubt that indie-rock lovers who seek out great music love Menomena, but when side project Ramona Falls opened for the National at Spreckels two years ago, people went crazy for them. Now that band is branching off on its own, and I guarantee you'll want to lay claim to being there at this headlining tour. I honestly can't remember if it is their first time headlining, but Ramona Falls has so much to offer that you're going to want to be at the Casbah for this exhilirating show. I'm not steering you wrong here; check them out and expect to be completely "wowed" for the night.
