I'm... just... sending emails to my academic tutors and praying this doesnt clash with exam periods. Holy hell.

What?!

What

What?!!!!!!!!

First it was Thurstons ATP last year that i had to miss for exams, and now it looks like this too :(

On the plus side, they might finally reissue their bleedin discography.

pbradley 11.09.2007 04:20 PM

And I just got into them! And yes I am ashamed of ragging on them earlier. Too bad it's only for ATP. But here's hoping for a tour though I highly doubt it.

SpectralJulianIsNotDead 11.09.2007 06:29 PM

Oh just for ATP.

Sucks.

Someone should convince them to tour.

ZEROpumpkins 11.09.2007 06:42 PM

Even if it is just ATP, they will probably tour as well. So that makes the 3 greatest math rock bands active again: Slint, Chavez and now Polvo :)

Everyneurotic 11.09.2007 07:35 PM

chavez math rock? and great?

anyhoo, polvo rules so that's great.

ZEROpumpkins 11.09.2007 08:12 PM

Yeah, Chavez are generally considered to be Math Rock. They do have the multiple time signature things going on anyway, if not as much as Polvo and Slint.

the ikara cult 11.09.2007 09:44 PM

Again, REISSUES!

ZEROpumpkins 11.09.2007 11:42 PM

Yes! The only way to get Polvo here is to buy it online.

atsonicpark 11.10.2007 09:51 AM

Not sure I'd consider Polvo math rock, though I don't know what you'd call them. They kinda fit in with that Thinking Fellers / Truman's Water weird complex noise rock genre that has no description but is just ridiculously amazing. And Chavez are pretty good but not math rock. And I've never actually heard slint called math rock, I think they are supposedly the originators of what we now call "post-rock".

I don't really care about any of that, just saying.

PAULYBEE2656 11.10.2007 01:48 PM

fuck math rock.. math rock is another label to describe miusic to folk who havent got a clue... don cab is math, slint is math, polvo is math... totally different sounding bands......

anyway. polvo reunion... bring it on......

GravitySlips 11.10.2007 02:41 PM

woooooooo awesome news!

HaydenAsche 11.10.2007 02:52 PM

Fucking right! I hope they tour. I can't afford to go to ATP.

ZEROpumpkins 11.10.2007 10:03 PM

I bet they will, it happens: Rage toured after Coachella. Not many rage fans here though.

atsonicpark 11.11.2007 08:07 AM

whaaa? rage is great. well.. the first two albums.

Everyneurotic 11.11.2007 12:21 PM

when i see "math" i kinda think on odd time signatures and that stuff, and chavez, i don't hear that a lot in them.

also, to me, they always seemed good but never great.

rage against the machine are definitely one of the worse bands of all time, easily top ten.

SpectralJulianIsNotDead 11.11.2007 06:30 PM

Math to me means technical.

drrrtyboots 11.11.2007 06:51 PM

Math to me means WHO FUCKING CARES, POLVO LIVES!

atsonicpark 11.11.2007 07:35 PM

haha.

COME WIT IT NOW!@

ZEROpumpkins 11.12.2007 03:14 AM

I think all their albums are good. There's way worse bands than Rage.
Anyway, back to Polvo:
Hope they'll reissue some of their stuff
