Having spawned the likes of the B-52s and R.E.M., Athens, Georgia — like Chapel Hill, North Carolina and Olympia, Washington — has become one of the mythic wellsprings of American indie music. And now, Pylon, one of the most influential of Athens' bands, finally get their due. Like many a post-punk band, Pylon's four art students got together in 1978 and quickly generated buzz (Michael Stipe was an early convert) with ferocious, catchy songs that could make a disco out of a punk club. They play tonight in celebration of local mainstay WNYU's 35th anniversary, alongside Psychic Paramount, Grouper, and a number of other underground oddities.
