Casey McSocial: The Jumping Turtle, San Marcos (Dec 21, 2006)

Casey McSocial, Luke F. Walton’s first band (he played bass in it during 2006), was booked at The Jumping Turtle in San Marcos on Thursday, December 21, 2006, on a BGO Events Promotions bill. The Dec 14 ad names The Center, Casey McSocial, Fallback, and Farewell. The Dec 21 ad, on the day of the show, adds 6th Day and “All ages until 10 pm.” Neither ad names the members: Luke’s presence that night remains his own account. A second 2006 Turtle bill (Oct 25) and the 2007 dates are transcribed below.
