Vanessa Briscoe's deep voice and severe tone anchored the band's daft off-key guitar ditties. Their 1980 debut, <I>Gyrate</I>, had few musical precedents save the scraping guitar funk of Gang of Four and the skewered robotic dance pop of Devo. <I>Chomp</I> and <I>Chain</I>, the band's only other full-length releases, pushed the band's sound into artier agit-pop directions, pioneering the realms of indie dance. Go figure. All of their work proved immensely influential on the likes of R.E.M., Love Tractor, and the Throwing Muses. - Chad Driscoll'80s Alternativeen720Mon, 23 Nov 2009 17:31:38 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.69084&variant=artist-playlists&rws=%2Fpylon%2Fplaylists.rss Pylon began playing Athens, Ga., clubs back when that city's music scene was still in its infancy.
