Polvo back with a new albums soon???!!!!
 

is this old news?

from their myspace:
"Back to the Lab
Hi, guys, Dave here. I just wanted to mention that Polvo is entering the studio in mid-March to record our 1st album in 12 years. We are recording with Brian Paulson at Echo Mountain in beautiful downtown Asheville, North Carolina. More details are forthcoming, except to say that we are really excited to finally get into the studio. Thanks for the continued support. We'll be in touch."

poll on the way:eek:

obviously sub question.
Touch and Go isn't going to release this, are they?

Old news: That they're back (they've already released a live album on itunes or whatever, one of those pay-per-song stores, from their reformation period).

Bad news: Touch and Go is dead.

New (to me) but good news: New album.

Bad to me: Shapes sucks.

ha i know this hadn't been on here yet.
Shapes sucks?
erm
what about "No it doesn't., It's awesome"?
huh?
What are you gonna say to that, big boy, huh?
:D

I like a few songs but compared to the rest of their material it's bloated, uncreative, and even boring. It's an okay record, but it's a bad Polvo record.

I'd kindly accept a new Polvo album. What a genius band... I tuned to the Polvo tuning today and got so many cool guitar lines out of it.

What is the Polvo tuning, Derek? I'll try that. Thx

I absolutely love "Enemy insects". It's beautiful.:o

Yeah, for years I played in GGCCCE, but I experimented with EBAGAF and DAAGDD as well. Now I just play open d.

Are a lot of people here familiar with this ep?

I have the MP3 and it sounds very much like a crazy Sebadoh on acid, but i had never seen the actual cover... Is it rare?

Yeah it was GGCCCE I was playing in.

Probably not as rare as the Erectus Monotone split!

I have no idea if it is rare but I own it...
I was lucky enough to see polvo in the 90's.

that EP is rare enough.

Polvo rules. I hope the new one is full of energetic skronk. I am getting sick and tired of bland droney skronk.

I got this bad mofuck, 3 X 7" vinyl, and it rules and it rules and it rules rules rules so much

I spent a decade looking for it.

I'm excited. I only recently got into them a year or two ago and they've quickly become one of my favorite bands. New albums by reunited bands don't have to suck, as proved by a few bands quite recently.

So fuck yeah!

And I hope they tour!

Yeah, read this like a month ago. And yeah, Shapes has some good tunes like Enemy Insects (would be even better if they emphasized those power chord parts) and El Rocío but not much else sparks much interest.

I do like the new songs they've played live though, so that is promising.

It does ;)

There's a criminally lost band, Erectus Monotone. Their Close Up ep is fantastic, i think. You all have Polvo's Mexican Radio too? Decent cover version of a great tune.

Yes!!!

Excellent.
