Everest played The Casbah and brought the crowd. Seriously brought the crowd. The guys in the band have said they love San Diego and, man, does San Diego love them back. Just before the music started, all of the members got into a tight huddle and had a moment of camaraderie. The band made the most of the small Casbah stage, with singer/guitarist Russell Pollard occasionally jumping and jogging in place, and occasionally stepping up on the monitors. Set highlights included “Ownerless,” the titular track from the band’s new album, as well as “Raking Me Over the Coals” “House of 9′s,” “Rebels in the Roses,” (“about Louisville, Kentucky”) and “Rapture.”
