Pylon Reenactment Society is an American rock band from Athens, Georgia.
Since 2014, Vanessa Briscoe Hay has fronted the Pylon Reenactment Society, a band featuring members of more recent Athens bands like The Glands and Casper & the Cookies who perform the music of Pylon.[1] In a 2016 Portland Mercury interview, Hay said, "It's been inspirational, if that's the right word, to be able to play this music again. I really don't want people to forget Pylon. These are different people and we are re-enacting this experience, so it's not exactly Pylon, but it's fresh and done in the same spirit". In October 2017, Pylon Reenactment Society self-released an EP initially recorded on December 11, 2016 for broadcast in Los Angeles, California for DJ Michael Stock's Part Time Punks KXLU show, titled Part Time Punks Session.[2][3] In March 2018, Hay was named one of the “25 Best Frontwomen of All Time” by Paste Magazine[4]
