Vietnam formed at the dawn of the new decade---the 80's, and ushered in a fresh era of music to the Atlanta new wave scene. Embraced by the early 80's cavalcade of Athens bands like Pylon, Method Actors, R.E.M., Love Tractor, Limbo District, etc., Vietnam wowed the patrons of the legendary 688 club, 40 Watt club, and the Agora Ballroom, but unfortunately never released a record---until now.
