About Me

Sometimes I am the vocalist for the Athens, GA band Pylon and more recently Supercluster. Supercluster have recently changed their name from FFFM and were Supercluster before. Are you confused, oh well.. Supercluster is more of a recording project, but may play out on occasion. Usually I am a mom. Read more about the news and history for Pylon on my blog. Pylon You can read my version of Pylon's history there under Vanessa's Version. Here are the links for the Pylon and Supercluster websites. If you are interested, you can be our friend!
