The Jody Grind was a band from the Cabbagetown neighborhood of Atlanta featuring Kelly Hogan (vocals), Bill Taft (guitar), Walter Brewer (drums) and Robert Hayes (bass).[1] The band's debut album, One Man's Trash (Is Another Man's Treasure), met with some local success and was positively reviewed by Michael Stipe of R.E.M. on his blog.[2] Shortly after the 1992 release of their second album, Lefty's Deceiver, Hayes and new drummer Rob Clayton, along with Atlanta performance artist and poet Deacon Lunchbox, were killed in a car accident.[3] The three were riding in a rented cargo van in Montgomery, Alabama, at the time of the accident, when a drunk driver crossed the I-65 median and struck them head-on.
After the accident, Hogan and Taft decided to disband. Hogan later moved to Chicago to continue a solo career, and has since played with a variety of bands including Rock*A*Teens, Wee Hairy Beasties and Neko Case.
