Polvo Spring Tour??
 
They are playing the Black Cat in DC on May 9th, but I couldn't find anything about any other scheduled dates after a quick search. I know some of you are pretty big Polvo fans, so I just thought I throw this news out there.

SOMEONE FIND OUT. Holy shit.

DC show is only $13

uhler 02.20.2008 10:44 PM

dante from iron cross and gray matter owns the black cat. i always wanted to see what that place is like.

krastian 02.20.2008 10:54 PM

It's pretty much the best DC club. I mean, the 9:30 Club used to always have good shows, but now everything pretty much sucks ass. I actually haven't seen a whole lot of good bands at the Black Cat lately either.

I'm thinking about going 6-7 hours to DC just to see this.

krastian 02.20.2008 11:06 PM

6 hours? I don't know man....I can get from my hometown to Pittsburgh in 2 hours and from my hometown to DC in 2 and a halfish hours. It shouldn't be any more than 5 to get there!! Just go south to I-68 East and then it's gravy from there!!

SpectralJulianIsNotDead 02.20.2008 11:10 PM

I haven't gone to DC since I was a little little baby. It seemed much longer then.

krastian 02.20.2008 11:13 PM

Right on. Well, a Pittsburgh or Cleveland date might be in the works, so you could be money.

SpectralJulianIsNotDead 02.20.2008 11:14 PM

I wish I was more involved in the whole Pittsburgh scene. Then I could pull some strings.

krastian 02.20.2008 11:22 PM

The last time I saw show in Pittsburgh was Bardo Pond in like 2000. It was off Hot Metal Street or something?? That street name always stuck with me.

SpectralJulianIsNotDead 02.20.2008 11:46 PM

hmmm, don't know what venue that is. A lot of places have closed down- the Electric Banana, the Upstage, and the Rosebud are all gone.

Mr. Smalls reigns supreme. If Polvo play I hope they play Smalls.

krastian 02.20.2008 11:51 PM

It was in like a really old brick building.....I think it might have been an old theatre or something? There were only like 15 other people there.....it was one of the weirdest shows I have ever gone to.

Polvo should play in someone's basement, i'd be more down for that seeing as I'll only have my license for 7 days come this Black Cat show.

SpectralJulianIsNotDead 02.21.2008 12:16 PM

do you have Ash Bowie's number? Maybe I'll call him and they can play in mine.

dazedcola 02.21.2008 01:00 PM

05-09 Washington, DC - Black Cat
05-10 Carrboro, NC - Cat's Cradle
05-16-18 Minehead, England - Butlins Holiday Resort (Explosions in the Sky All Tomorrow's Parties)
05-29-31 Barcelona, Spain - Primavera Sound Festival (ATP stage)

drrrtyboots 02.21.2008 03:01 PM

According to Pitchfork, they're planning more dates in the U.S. This is going to be amazing. Or maybe they'll only play venues with "Cat" in the name.
