Their nervousness about about their performance was quickly won over by their own musical joy that marked all Pylon songs. They looked strong and shining new and bold like gods showing us revelations of how things were and can be again in this jaded musical society. Strong, fawning praise — but all it took was seeing monoliths come alive. Vanessa seemed to be the Pygmalion it took to end the reign as statues by just dancing her dervish-inspired trance that caught the band back up in its fury. She didn't even notice she had cut her foot and was bleeding all over the stage. She was bleeding out of her soul and the band played on. Now that I feel embarrassed by such a string of incessant superlative heaping, we can get back to, as Sgt. Monday would say, "just the facts”. This was not a one-time reunion. Pylon plans to play several times in Athens and some other favorite spots before they decide where they are going. They don't want to commit to recording or touring until they decide what they can and want to do given the demands of their current lives and the music industry five years later. Now they know that they can still do it and don't have to be just relics. *- Jared OAIU1 cartoon by JT Superstar WED 13 ALLGOOD MUSIC CO.
