Smart bets: Antique Firearms bon voyage show

After three years of local shows, two album releases and a third recording in the works, the indie-rockers in Antique Firearms are about to take a really big step — they’re moving to Los Angeles. But the band will not go quietly into the night. Nope. They’ve got a massive sendoff planned, in the form of a Grey Eagle show. “We’ll be breaking out some new tunes from the upcoming album, celebrating excessively and trying not to cry,” the band says in a Facebook post. In an email to Xpress, drummer Dave Breske adds, “We’re trying to throw the biggest, best party we can as a ‘thank-you’ to the town that has been so awesome to us. … Playing our final show here at the Grey Eagle is especially cool for us because it’s a nice way to bring our Asheville chapter full circle. That was the first place that we played as the current lineup. … We want to make sure that attendees feel like they are part of the celebratory fun times, too, so we’re encouraging people to dress up however they see fit for the occasion.” Stop Light Observations from Charleston and The Black Cadillacs from Knoxville also perform at the Saturday, Sept. 13 show. 9 p.m., $5. thegreyeagle.com.
