From the album Gyrate. The pics are them then and then the color ones are from the 21st Century. Long live Pylon.
From the beginning, the beautiful anarchy that was Pylon was amazing.
I dedicate this to my daughter S., my pal, dance partner,and the best elementary school music critic that ever danced on two feet.

I love this song! I used to dance in a "go-go bar" (remember this was the 80's and that is whay they were called, not erotic dancing) and we could bring in our own ;music and I always brought in this to dance to--people used to ask wow, what is that song! Cheers

singer put on a lot of weight, but still cute as a button.

@jehouse Oh I know, and was hoping to see them again. I have corresponded with Vanessa a few times through her MySpace page. I was shocked when Randy died!

Pylon is one of those bands that I wish I had seen during their lean, hungry early days. I feel that way about a lot of bands. I simply don't want to see them after a certain point, it sort of ruins their perfect time in my mind. r.e.m, is another (anything before Life's Rich Pageant). I stayed in Athens for a week in 1987, just exploring the town. I still have the hand drawn map of downtown made for me by Ort.

I saw them open up for REM on the Green tour. It was the last "official" date on the tour in Macon, GA. Only time I got to see them but I was third row and have been a fan every since.
I saw the post about The Feelies... best guitar band ever!!

Great band. Saw them at Hurrah's back when...a crazy time. Hurrah,s I think, started the MTV trend. While the bands played, you followed them in the TVs hanging from the ceilings. If they kept those tapes complete, they are sitting on a treasure of great music: The Feelies, The P.Furs, Polyrock, and so many more.

@graciaraul Damn if you don't know how to drop names, hahaha! Every band you've mentioned was influential to me back in the day. I never heard of Hurrah's before. Where was it and when was it open? I am thinking it was in Athens, but could it have been Atlanta or even NYC?
