Alt-pop band The Young International will be playing their first show ever Friday, Dec. 3 at The Rutledge. They’ve got cause to celebrate, since their first single “Ruckus” comes out the following Tuesday, but you can listen to it here. “Ruckus” will be on the band’s five-song, self-titled EP, which is set for a February 2011 release. The dreamy melodies and synth-pop sensibility they have going on compares to local favorites like Vinyl Thief, so if that’s your cup of tea and you want to come see them lose their live-show virginity, it starts at 8:30. – Jessica Pace
