The Casbah is used several nights a week for smaller, local and regional shows as well as dance parties and club events. Typical bills have 3-4 bands, with doors at 7, show at 8. The Casbah sports the main room's old FOH sound board, and a recently updated monitor system. There is now a dedicated, but limited lighting system, including club lighting on the floor. Past performers of the Casbah include Mojo Nixon, The Dismemberment Plan, My Chemical Romance, Our Lady Peace, and others.
