It may have been a Tuesday night, but that didn’t stop San Diegans from packing the Casbah to see Thao and Mirah perform.

Opening with “Folks” — off their recent self-titled debut — the duo and an all-female backing band treated the crowd to their off-kilter blend of rock, pop, and folk. The two front-women demonstrated a relaxed interplay, nimbly harmonizing on “How Dare You” and shaking their hips to the funky “Rubies and Rocks.” Fans of Thao’s other project, Thao with the Get Down Stay Down, also had reason to bust a move — the set included a performance of the hand-clap-heavy “Body,” off the Owl and Bear-favorited Know Better, Learn Faster.

You can get down to the photos below. Whether you stay down is, as always, completely up to you.
