I never really listened to these guys much but they pretty much started the Athens music scene and named the 40 Watt Club. They're pretty fucking awesome. Sad that I've realized this after one of the members dies.

"The 40 Watt Club was the primary performance space for numerous "Athens bands", including Pylon, R.E.M., Drivin N Cryin, Guadalcanal Diary, The Primates, Indigo Girls, Modern Skirts, Mastodon and others. Its DIY ethos and informality were instrumental in the fostering of punk rock and a "scene" in Athens, GA. In more recent years, the club has been the home-base for such nationally-renowned local bands as Of Montreal, Drive-By Truckers, and The Whigs."
