Polvo Returns
Bands just can't resist the pull of reforming. Lucre, reliving the glory days, what is it? Word is that Pavement and the Replacements turned down offers to reform for Coachella this year. As ambivalent as I am about bands getting back together, I would have booked a ticket immediately to see the 'Mats again. In the meantime, I'll content myself with checking out Polvo at the Black Cat next Friday.
I went to Virginia Tech, which was near enough to Chapel Hill to be closely tuned in to that music scene back in its heyday (Superchunk, Southern Culture on the Skids, etc). I generally wasn't down with the whole math-rock scene Polvo got lumped in with, but they had a fascinating twist on guitar rock that I loved.
From their best moment, the Celebrate the New Dark Ages EP, here' s Solitary Set:
