Wednesday night is a whopper of a show at the Casbah. Jacco Gardner, who has appeared before in support of the Allah-Las and most recently Broncho, is back with a headlining performance. This stellar performer is not to be missed as he leaves everything he has on stage with each show. With Calvin Love as direct support, indie-rock lovers should rejoice and have this show firmly on their radar. Around town, Belly Up hosts locals with a headlining slot by Bangladesh, while Soda Bar gets wicked with Crime Desire, and Brick by Brick has a full-blown metal night with Knoxville's Straight LIne Stitch.
