Inside the Milky Way - A Look at Early Alternative Music. Podcast 3.10
Members of @pylon.band join us to discuss the legacy of this Athens, Georgia band that formed in 1979 creating a unique danceable, post-punk, indie rock sound. During their initial run, they would release two studio albums in the early 80’s before disbanding in 1983. They would reform as Pylon a couple of times over the years, but today the legacy continues with the band @pylonreenactmentsociety (PRS) that formed in 2014.
Joining us for this episode are Vanessa Briscoe Hay (lead singer of Pylon and PRS), Pylon’s bassist Michael Lachowski , and PRS guitarist Jason NeSmith.
