It’s been just over a year since three Texan friends reunited north of the Mason-Dixon line, and added a local Bostonian. In that time, Cassavettes has turned more than a few heads — scooping up “Best Local Band” in the 2006 Boston Phoenix Reader's Poll and nabbing a 2006 Boston Music Award nod for “Outstanding Americana Act.” The Boston Metro described the group thusly: "By taking the Beatles' 'Revolver'-stomp to the saloon and getting it high on jazz in the backroom… Cassavettes mosey away from the same old tear-in-my-beer twang and provide an alternative to alternative-country (Alt-alt-country?)." They'll be joined by three other stellar local bands tonight- Squidda, The Shills and Steve the Farmer and The Murder Balladeers, in a Provincetown Rocks! Showcase party.
