Musicians include Vanessa Hay of Pylon ,Hannah Jones from The New Sound Of Numbers, Bob Hay of Squalls and Bill David from Bob Hay & the Jolly Beggars, Kay Stanton and Jason NeSmith from Casper & the Cookies, and John Fernandes of Olivia Tremor Control, Circulatory System and many others. They are occasionally joined by Bryan Poole from of Montreal/The Late BP Helium, cellist Heather MacIntosh(The Instruments, Kevin Ayers, Gnarls Barkley, Lil' Wayne and tons more), and pianist extraordinaire Damon Denton. Alumni include Will Cullen Hart and Peter Erchick. Their sound is best described as "Appalachian Wave," a combination of electric and acoustic instruments and a blending of bluegrass, European folk, Krautrock, and new wave musical styles. Early on they briefly changed their name from Supercluster to FFFM and back again. Original Supercluster/Pylon guitarist Randy Bewley died in February 2009 before the completion of Supercluster's first album, Waves. Jason NeSmith and Bryan Poole joined in his stead. Bradford Cox of Deerhunter and Atlas Sound played guitar on a few of the album's tracks. They have performed at 500 Songs for Kids, Athfest, and Athens Popfest. The band opened several shows for the B-52s in the summer of 2010.
