Love Tractor (1980–current) a band from Athens, Georgia, founded in spring 1980 by guitarists Mark Cline, Mike Richmond and bassist Armistead Wellford. Like The B-52's, Pylon and R.E.M., Love Tractor is lauded by critics and music historians as one of the founders of the Athens, Georgia, alternative rock scene. Love Tractor toured extensively and recorded six critically acclaimed albums, consistently topping the college and alternative charts. Love Tractor was particularly known for their instrumental rock.
After a return to the public eye in the late '90s, Love Tractor released 2001's swan song The Sky At Night. The group disbanded in 2002.
In 2015 founding members Armistead Wellford, Bill Berry and Mark Cline, along with multi-instrumentalist Douglas Stanley (The Glands, and major contributor to Love Tractor's 2001 album "The Sky st Night," released the instrumental single: A trip to the Museum, heralding a return to the band's instrumental roots. On August 13th, 2016 all original members of Love Tractor (Mark Cline, Mike Richmond, Armistead Wellford and Andrew Carter) reformed to perform at the Athens Pop Festival, the performance was at the Georgia Theater in Athens, GA. The band was accompanied on stage by Guitarists Bryan Poole (Elf Power, Casper & the Cookies), Jay Gonzalez (Drive by Truckers), drummer Joe Rowe (The Glands, Casper & the Cookies, Pylon Reenactment Society) and synthesist Kevin Dunn (The Fans, Regiment of Women). This enhanced version of Love Tractor (including all three original members) continues to perform live and will be re-releasing the Love Tractor Catalog on vinyl as well as previously unreleased songs and new material.
