The Antiques formed out of the ashes of the Santa Barbara, CA band Budge, who developed a cult following around Santa Barbara in the late 90s. Two members of the band went separate ways, but the core members, Joey Barro (vocals, guitar, harmonica), Ben Donaldson (bass) and Chris Good (drums, percussion), continued on from their new home of Los Angeles, CA. Barros intentions as a song-writer are not to replicate the original sound of Rock music, but to acknowledge it and update it. As he pens songs, he tips his cap to those like the Man in Black, paying homage to the greats; but rather than experimenting, he simply modernizes it, making it more relevant and accessible to todays listeners. Together, Barro, Donaldson, and Good provide a necessary balance between the old and the new, bridging the generation gap. The ability of the band to bridge such a gap gives access to listeners of all ages. Their sound is reminiscent of The Kinks and Bob Dylan in the 60s and 70s, combined with The Pixies and Wilco in the 90s and 00s, which culminates into an indie-folk-rock sound that brings back memories for some and forms new memories for others.
