Polvo are an influential indie noise rock band of the 1990s from Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA. The band was fronted by vocalist/guitarist Ash Bowie and guitarist Dave Brylawski. Eddie Watkins played drums, and Steve Popson played bass guitar.
Polvo are considered one of the key proponents of a genre which came to be known as math rock. Their sound was defined by complex and dissonant guitar harmonies and driving rhythm, complementing Bowie's cryptic, often surrealist lyrics. So unpredictable and angular was their sound that the band's guitarists were often accused of failing to play with correctly-tuned guitars. Polvo's songs and artwork frequently featured Asian/"exotic" themes and references. The band's name means "dust" in Spanish; in Spain it also is a slang word for sex. Listen the sonic landscape of "Vibracobra" from the Lp ; "Cor-Crane Secret" ..
Polvo are reforming to play some scattered gigs ... Look out !

Anton Newcombe posted this , originally titled ; "fuck you and your shit band before you were born.... !" The Monks are sonically and visually beautiful ! Man this is mindnumbing for 1965 !!! Fuck Yes for the Monks !! Thanks again Anton ! Enjoy !
A new track from Dead Meadow " What Needs Must Be " .. A bit less sonic and noisy then the material on " Feathers " , yet still worthy and sound ! Then, a chaotic soundscape from NYC's loudest group - A Place to Bury Stangers with ," I know I'll see you."
Now to enhance your listening pleasure ... great American Poet Charles Bukowski reads a poem "from the dept. of english" enjoy ...
English pop band covering the four seasons song "Beggin"- they make it a little more frantic with bongo's and vibes and some haunting string arrangements.
