Live Review: Deerhunter, Pylon, Jay Reatard and Times New Viking @ Variety Playhouse; The Spooks, Cola Freaks and Mourdella @ Star Bar, 10/31/08

[Above: Jared Swilley of the Black Lips plays in Halloween-appropriate band The Spooks.]More good bands than Bonnaroo. The release of a long-awaited record. A 3-D extravaganza. A horde of crazed Danes. A theremin. A cassette so limited it doesn’t really exist. The Black Lips wearing bed sheets. And Jay Reatard playing (gasp) an acoustic guitar. It’s just another Halloween in Atlanta, as Deerhunter headed a line-up of hipster-approved indie rockers at the Variety Playhouse, while Black Lips side-project The Spooks descended upon the after-party at Star Bar, supported by a cadre of local bands and the aforementioned Danes....  read more

Pylon begins short tour (it ends next week)

By Rebecca Bowen on 12:00 AM on November 1, 2007

Having just released its 1980 debut, Gyrate, on CD for the first time, Pylon is poised to distribute cool points like hotcakes around the eastern seaboard via a handful of early-November tour dates with The New Sound of Numbers. Show up, accrue +5 in your Athens-related hipness stats, and honor the town’s alternative forefathers by dancing a little bit. It all begins tonight in Atlanta, and winds up next weekend in Philadelphia. That Liberty Bell could use another shaking up. The dates: November 1 - Atlanta, Ga. @ The Earl 5 - Chapel Hill, N.C. @ Local 506 7 -...  read more

Gyrate to Pylon's re-released debut

By Rebecca Bowen on 12:00 AM on August 29, 2007

Pylon's website says it all - "Cool" - in the same bold, squared-off letters that adorned its seminal 7-inch single in 1980. Although the Athens, Ga. dance-punk four-piece never found the commercial success of fellow Classic City compatriots R.E.M. and the B-52s, the band laid the foundations of its hometown's renowned music scene and -- like the traffic cone of its logo -- helped re-direct rock to an alternative route, if you will. This October, Pylon will bring this hipness back to CDs when DFA Records releases its out-of-print debut album, Gyrate, in said format for the first time ever....  read more
