Polvo is an American indie noise rock band of the 1990s from Chapel Hill, North Carolina. The band was fronted by guitarists/vocalists Ash Bowie and Dave Brylawski. Brian Quast played drums, and Steve Popson played bass guitar.
To harmonize that discord is genius. To pile that many obscure abstracts & driver nothings into another layer of nothing laced/loaded undertones is genius++. Shocked the World didn't grab these guys. It has that one thing, _____ (word that can't be spoke by a human tongue & blocked from peoples minds) , in a key pile of give/take, push/shove, kiss/kick mentality twist of a complex code of sorts that allows some of us to recognize 'its right there'... Thanks for Upload.
1:23 Fast Canoe (from Exploded Drawing) 8:58 Enemy Insects (from Shapes) 16:30 Every Holy Shroud (from Celebrate the New Dark Age) Thanks for recording these guys! one of my fav bands, eveyone please listen to their albums and share them, they are fantastic.
Very cool, great quality, thanks 4 sharing. Date and venue would be appreciated. I'm guessing All Tomorrow's Parties before in Prism. Interesting reinterpretations of these songs and seems to have inspired a trip to the studio.
Polvo touches my soul and probably anybody who stumbles onto this video, so if you did go listen to celebrate a new Dark Age the songwriting in that is just so top notch the lyrics in chandeliers. Plus he plays it and sings it at the same time are you fucking kidding me
Fugazi were fans of Polvo and so was sebadoh. Both huge in the indie scene at the time. Just cause Kurt cobain wasn’t publicly privy to them doesn’t mean they weren’t appreciated within their circle.
(Also by indie I’m just really lazily grouping in every underground-ish alt genre at that time, I’m aware that all the bands mentioned record in studios)
