Short story:
The Brains play at Tyrone's, Athens, Georgia, with local band R.E.M. as support earning $100.Full article:
Mike Mills (bassist, R.E.M.) : We opened up for The Brains in Athens, once at Tyrone’s and once at Memorial Hall on the campus. I think those are the first two paying shows. Nobody was thinking of a career, but it was very enlightening to see that we could actually play for people and they would like it, and we could actually make some money at this and not have to do day jobs. All the doors started opening with those first few shows. It was a very heady time.
