Manchester Polytechnic Cavendish House
3rd December 1980

This one shows the tour dates for the fabulous Pylon in 1980. The first date on the 3rd of December was at the Poly.

Pylon were/are a band that hailed from Athens GA in the states and their sound is now finding a new audience. So much so that the very hip New York label DFA are right now preparing to reissue the album that this 1980 tour was promoting for release later this year (with extras).

“I attended this gig - support band was Medium Medium - I went out the following day to buy the Pylon album and Medium Medium's Hungry, So Angry as I was reasonably impressed. The crowd was small. When I reflect, we were so spoilt - there were so many venues and prices where good, long before arena gigs and online booking. I was never home!!”
