VietNam

There are two bands currently known as "Vietnam." This information below seems to be confusing the two.
One from Atlanta, Georgia formed in 1980. From Southeast Performer Magazine:
"Vietnam started out in Atlanta in 1980, at a time when smaller, neighboring city Athens was the music city of that decade. Bands such as R.E.M., The B-52s, Pylon and Love Tractor were tearing up the clubs and getting much love from college radio. Vietnam played the same clubs and got a lot of the same type of praise that was bestowed upon the aforementioned acts, but they never cut an album. Jump ahead 25 years, and we finally have the band’s debut release [Past Away]."

The other is apparently from Brooklyn, NY and is more recent.

This information below appears to be incorrect because the Georgia "Vietnam" released "The Concrete's Always Greyer on the other side of the street" on "Vise" (Scared Records) in 2004.

Enigmatic rock quartet Vietnam, whose mellow but acerbic music and extended jams have elicited comparisons to Lou Reed, Sonic Youth, and Smog, features vocalist/guitarist Michael William and multi-instrumentalist/vocalist Joshua Garrett. The pair enlisted percussionist Mike Foss, drummer Chris Colley, and vocalist Kim Miller to record the debut Vietnam EP, The Concrete's Always Grayer on the Other Side of the Street, which was released in summer 2004 by Vice Records. Recently, VietNam was expanded to include Mike Patrick and Ivan Sunshine, and they recorded their first full length, VietNam, last summer.
