'The Casting Out' and friends play The Court Tavern this Friday

If checking out The Empire Shall Fall, Chambers and Tiger Flowers at Ding Batz  this Friday is too much to handle, there still may be hope for your Friday evening (article and interview posted). The legendary Court Tavern in New Brunswick will be hosting a show with a relatively stacked line-up: Go Falcon, Your Favorite Trainwreck, Communication Redlight and the newest project from BoySetsFire frontman and guitarist, The Casting Out. No strangers to extensive touring and life on the road, The Casting Out continue through New Brunswick and down to Philadelphia to play Tritone on June 26th and Sound Aylum in New York on July 1st. Check out the very poignant biography that was written about the band on their Last.FM account, featured below. 

"So Nathan was in a band called BoySetsFire. They did ok, then they broke up. So The Casting Out started, first with some terrible name that (THANK GOD!) was already taken, played some shows, lost some members, got some members, changed their sound, (yeah I know…it “evolved”) It got louder. More raucous. More fun. More of that good stuff that keeps you coming back. Catchier than a plateful of syphalitic lepers. EW. They started touring in a crappy van that broke down. Of course they did. Who didn’t? Played to smatterings of people who began disinterested, but were slowly (so slowly!) run over by their dynamic stage show. But they are doing it the way you are supposed to. They are sleeping on floors. They are eating pasta. Playing freaking VFWs, Which is fine for all the retards out there with their first band who are just excited to get out of Arkansas, But Nathan is no spring chicken. He ain’t even a Winter Goose. He has been touring since he was 20 which was nearly two decades ago. When he started touring, gas was ninety cents a gallon. When he started touring, no-one had cell phones. We used this cracked out gadget called the “Straight Edge Dialer” which somehow imitated the sonic patterns of quarters dropping into the slot. We would gather around a pay-phone and use it to call home and try to get shows. When he started touring, there was no major-label debate because major-labels simply did not sign punk or hardcore bands. When he started touring the internet was a mere gleam in Al Gore’s nutsack. When he started touring, people bought cds. Yeah, I know… That long ago." - Last.FM

unfortunately can't make this, but it's a shame the casting out don't get more recognition.
