Rent Boys / Young Antiques hit up Savannah this weekend
Tuesday, August 19th, 2008
This Saturday night Atlanta’s long-standing power pop trio the Young Antiques (A.K.A. the ‘Tiques) will head over to Savannah to play a show at The Jinx.
The Rent Boys are going along to give an encore performance of their recent reunion show at The Fringe Binge a few weeks back. So if you didn’t get the chance to see them then, here’s one more go-around, which is will worth the drive to Savannah; and after all there was an almost 8 year gap between Rent Boys’ shows. And despite much prodding these recent reunions aren’t going to lead to a proper reformation of the group, so catch them if you can.
In other Young Antiques news, the group is now taking pre-orders for their forthcoming self-released CD, titled Soundtrack to Tear Us Apart.
