LIVE FIVE: The Schizophonics, Transfer, Barefoot Hockey Goalie, Almost Monday, Allison Adams Tucker


The Casbah celebrates its 35th year with several showcase concerts this month, including El Ten Eleven, a mostly instrumental duo featuring two former members of Softlightes. The band plays post-rock, combining guitar/bass doubleneck or fretless bass with heavy looping and electronics. The Little Italy bill includes Optiganally Yours, fronted by Pea Hicks, who plays a kind of home organ made by the Optigan Corporation, a subsidiary of Mattel toys, in the early ‘70s.

Starcrawler at the Casbah January 5 & 6

The Casbah’s 35-year celebration continues with a two-night stand from L.A. five-piece Starcrawler. Frontwoman Arrow De Wilde is known for her explosive stage presence, which helped earn the band opening slots for Foo Fighters, Beck, and My Chemical Romance. The January 5 bill includes Pleasure Pill, while Sands will open on January 6.
