Steve May, Atlanta’s 688 Club owner and Paul Cornwell, Metroplex Club owner, talk about their upcoming 688/Metroplex reunion show at the Masquerade Music Park on October 4, 2008. Tons of bands that once played the infamous environs of those two punk/new wave clubs (both no longer with us) will be reuniting for this once-in-a-lifetime event. Yes, it’s been a long time since the astonishing, groundbreaking 80’s Atlanta music scene, so it’s about time for a quickie flashback! Tickets are $25 in advance; $30 at the door.
