If you've attended shows at San Diego venues with any regularity, than you're likely already familiar with Adam Gimbel and his band Rookie Card, performing at the Casbah, 2501 Kettner Blvd., downtown, tomorrow night. Practically omnipresent at local events, even if you haven't heard the groups quirky pop rock music, you've certainly crossed the path of these kings of self promotion. Featuring Nasrallah Helewa on drums, Gabe Acock on guitar, ace bass player Jason Hee, as well as frontman Gimbel, their sound is a kaleidoscopic mix of pop culture,with a healthy helping of kitsch and tongue firmly in cheek. The band has recently released a CD, "First Day Of Class", an excellent musical introduction to the quartet; however, it's in concert where the band truly excels. In particular, their no holds barred attitude to live performances has begun to make each show an event, in the true sense of the word. Recent stunts have included playing between movies at the Ken Cinema and shocking the staff at the Hard Rock Cafe by plugging into the guitars on their walls, and jamming out a solo, to name just a few. It's that sense of adventure and mischief that makes a set by Rookie Card or any of their countless offshoots so much fun. You never know what's going to happen.

Friday November 8 $12. 9 p.m. 21 and up. (619) 232-4355.
