Vanessa Briscoe Hay was named one of Paste Magazine’s 25 Best Frontwomen of All Time. Her influential band Pylon came out of the same scene as the B-52s and REM in Athens, Georgia. When the band split, she became a nurse. Now she’s touring again and we met up backstage before a show with her new band Pylon Reenactment Society. (Photo: John Boydston)
