It feels like I was just telling you why you should check out the Builders and the Butchers at the Casbah. After all, they were just here in February opening for Murder By Death. If you didn't get to see that show, then you also missed out on the amazing opening band, Damion Suomi and the Lost Prophets, that tore up the stage. I dig bands that rock out and jump around like they're a punk band, all the while playing folky Americana rock. Both of these bands deliver raucous performances. We'll see if Jesse LaMonaca and the Dime Novels can get that mood going to kick off the night.
