I've got a couple of pairs of tickets to give away for the Polvo show this Sunday at the Echoplex. It's a strong bill with Trans Am and the Drones opening the show.
To win the tickets email me [dukeufo at gmail] with the name of your favorite Mexican restaurant. The contest closes Friday at Noon.
A good friend of mine turned me on to Polvo early in college. I remember going to Love Garden in Lawrence, KS and picking up Polvo's Cor-Crane Secret and Slint's Spiderland on the same trip. Both records blew my mind (for a taste, go listen to "Vibracobra" on Polvo's Myspace page). I don't listen to a lot of experimental or abrasive music, but Polvo's odd time signatures and ability to do pretty much anything with a guitar did it for me. I still revisit the old records at least a few times a year. They haven't put out a record in over a decade, so this very well might be your only chance to see them.
