Fourth of July: Throw Rag at the Casbah

Is there a better way than declare your independence than celebrating the freedom to hear bands like Throw Rag, The Millionaires, Screamin' Yeehaws, and the Irish Brothers? Fourth of July 2004 set off fireworks at the Casbah in San Diego. Let Freedom Ring!

Opening band duties were capably handled by the Irish Brothers and the Screamin' Yeehaws, respectively. The Irish Brothers were high energy and rockin', while the Screamin' Yeehaws did just that with their "Southern Fried Dixie Punk." (L-R: Karl Irish, Keith Irish, Screamin' Yeehaws)

The crowd was explosive in more ways than one.(L-R: Amanda and friend; Franco; Sid and Kim)

The Millionaires felt free to dress like it was 1977, blending a sound that is part New York Dolls, part T Rex, part Bowie and part Queen, with some AC/DC thrown in for good measure. The crowd went wild!

In the end, Throw Rag could not be outdone! They played new songs that ignited the audience to a frenzy! Their performance practically set off fireworks on stage!
