Pylon Reenactment Society (PRS) is a band led by Vanessa Briscoe Hay, the original vocalist of the legendary Athens, Georgia band Pylon. Formed in 2014, PRS isn't a tribute band or a reunion, but rather a band inspired by Pylon's music and ethos. They perform Pylon songs and have also released their own original music, including the album "Magnet Factory".
When people talk about the beginnings of the music scene in Athens, GA the discussion usually begins “The B-52’s, R.E.M...” Those who know will continue the list, PYLON. They were every Athens, GA band’s favorite Athens band. Their musical naïveté, southern upbringing, art school smarts, and house-party roots exploded together to create something quite improbably amazing, hitting the listener on mental, physical, and spiritual levels simultaneously. On the surface, their angular guitar parts and dynamic rhythm section had something in common with UK post-punk bands like Gang of Four and PIL, but PYLON was more fun and less studied — and they had a secret weapon in Vanessa Briscoe Hay, whose inimitable vocal textures and phrasing defined the band’s sound for most listeners.
