Music Spotlight: Polvo
Welcome to the New Dark Age II.
In another in the recent series of reunion gigs, Polvo is working out some new and old material for a Cradle show on May 10, some Eurofestival action and a mini-tour.
They called it quits 10 years ago. For this tour, veterans Dave Brylawski, Ash Bowie and Steve Popson are joined by former Cherry Valence drummer Brian Quast. Des Ark and Noncanon open.
You may need to retune your ears for this one — there’s not been a lot of bands like ‘em around here for years. Check out the microtones at www.myspace.com/polvotheband
