Isn't that a good thing? I don't remember a lot about their set when they opened for STNNNG. Chris Thomson...that's supposed to be a positive...or so I thought...

no. they are terrible.

I hear Funclub is headlining that night


You guys know your Polvo are playing Wicker Park fest, right?

yuh. two shows. will most likely hit them both.

circus lupus was awesome. seriously awesome.

Red Eyed Legends, I've never heard any recordings, but I've seen them live a few times. I just really don't like them *for their music*, and I've found myself liking them less every time I've seen them. their sets always seem to go on way too long. they are probably really great people. cause other than that, there's no reason they would get all these great shows that they do. they're really a very bad band.

Here is the set list from last night's Bowery Ballroom show:

1. Awesome
2. Fucking A!
3. Holy Shitballs!
4. Yes!
5. What?
6. This drummer is really good
7. Awesome
8. Awesome
9. Slowing down a bit
10. see above
11. Ash blows up Ampeg head, replaces with Acoustic head mid-song
12. Awesome
13. Douche in front of me is too drunk, at least he's short
14. Dazed and Confused?!??!!!
15. You know that one song...the awesome one.

There were mixed reviews amongst my peers, but I thought they were really good. Two hours might have been a bit much.

Good job, Polvo.

that sucks that there's an opening band
i was hoping for 2 hours or so of mixed polvo

two opening bands, at least for the Chicago show at Subterranean. check www.subt.net to see.

There were two opening bands when I saw them and they still played for two hours.

The doors were at eight and Polvo didn't go on until eleven.

thanks for the info.....then again, i'd like to see the whle show, but if we arrive a little late, then it wont matter.....i was hoping it was just POLVO, cuz then they could play 2 sets or something like that.....it's like seeing NOFX or something....i'd rather see them on their own, then with opening bands.....it's a time thing....been to many many shows, and sometimes the opening bands are just a waste of time (not all the time) but it's like, i want to see ONLY the headlining band......there's a place here in London calltheoffice.com that's bad for, oh ya doors open at 9, yet they dont unlock them till almost 10, and then band takes forever to go on, but the opening bands first and then it's getting close to 11 and holy shit, some people got to work the next morning.....REV HORT HEAT was bad for that (but it paid off with just over a 2 hour set).......this is why i want to see POLVO on their own, instead at the festival the next day......which i'd love to stay and see, but just can't afford it.....it's bad enuff this show is costing us anywhere from $200 - $250 just to come down to see them...and that's per person.....mostly the damn gas......hope it dont go up that much....we figure 3 maybe 4 tanks to get there and back......in a new Mustang no doubt!
