Pylon Reenactment Society
It's easier to explain what Pylon Reenactment Society isn’t than what it actually is. It’s not a continuation or a reunion, because Vanessa is the only member in both groups. It’s neither a tribute act nor a cover band, although they do perform Pylon songs. Led by Vanessa Briscoe Hay of the legendary post-punk band Pylon, Pylon Reenactment Society also features Jason NeSmith and Kay Stanton (Supercluster, Casper & The Cookies) and Gregory Sanders (Casper & The Cookies).
Their debut album Magnet Factory and live performances have been met with critical acclaim. Uncut Magazine awarded the album an 8/10 rating, saying “Magnet Factory finds the quartet in scintillating form, shifting smartly between angular noise-pop and nervy punk-funk, topped with Hay’s spiky vocals… a terrific debut from American post-punk veterans.” The Associated Press said, “...Briscoe Hay remains a distinctive, boundary-defying songwriter… Amid the algorithm-driven din that now fills earbuds, ‘Magnet Factory’ sounds as fresh as Pylon first did…the band is an irresistible blend of simplicity and synchronicity, the music both edgy and therapeutic.” Rolling Stone Magazine noted of their performance at SXSW 2024 “…Pylon Reenactment Society dodges nostalgia partially because Pylon was hardwired for the future…”
Pylon Reenactment Society have supported the release of ‘Magnet Factory’ by going
whirlwind tours of the west coast, mid Atlantic states and to SXSW.
Current plans include continuing to perform select US dates in support of the album which has charted on the NACC Top 200 Chart peaking at #62.
AZITA
After blowing up the 90s/early 00s with The Scissor Girls and Bride of No No, AZITA took an an aught-rageous turn: piano- woman singer-songwriter with a chopstastic band and a pocket full of scabarous pop tunes! Six albums in, AZITA shows no sign of quitting - and we show no sign of ever wanting her to.
