New albums coming from Atlanta’s Young Antiques and Connor Christian
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The Young Antiques: Kevin Charney, Blake Rainey and Blake Parris.
One of our finest local bands is getting ready to release a new CD and you can get a sneak preview this weekend. The Young Antiques — Blake Rainey, Blake Parris and Kevin Charney — will release “Soundtrack to Tear Us Apart” on Sept. 27, but the trio will be playing some of the new tunes on Friday at the Star Bar.
The Young Antiques have been an on-again, off-again proposition. The Blakes are childhood friends who grew up near the Alabama border in Cedartown and started the band around 1999-2000. The trio took a breather for a few years around the middle of this decade, but they’re back with renewed power.
If you want to check it out before the show, the band has a couple of tracks up on their MySpace page, including the ripping rocker “Nothing at All.”
Former GruvnHi frontman Connor Christian (at right, photo by Jason Reed) will perform as well. His latest album is “A Southern Gothic,” released back in 2006, but he has a new album in the works, too. Christian and his band the Morning Star Revival’s “90 Proof Lullabies” will make its debut in early October. Look for another Star Bar date to celebrate that release. Meanwhile, have a listen to some of the band’s earlier work here.
Also on the bill is the Shanghai Gesture (at right), fronted by long-serving Atlanta musician Ray Dafrico, makes a shivery swirl of power pop, glam rock and New York punk, then garnishes it with a sliver of garage-y darkness. Former Nightporters and Kathleen Turner Overdrive member Dafrico is joined by drummer Mike Davis and former Catfight bassist Katy Graves. Sample tracks from the band’s album “Mojo Pagoda” at their MySpace page .
The music starts at about 10 p.m. Friday, July 25, at the Star Bar (437 Moreland Ave. N.E., Atlanta. 404-681-9018).
