Reclusive Pennsylvania-based indie rock pioneers The Long Afternoon formed in Pittsburgh in 1985. Guitarist and vocalist Eston Martz worked with several local musicians to craft the band’s original sound: angular and edgy, with energy to burn and an emphasis on cryptic, deeply personal songs. Intentionally obscure from the outset, even the band’s name is open to multiple interpretations. While never deliberately confrontational or anti-entertainment, the group has neither been particularly interested in attaining popularity and showing audiences a good time.
