You may have thought "damn you ATP and your fancy schmancy festival all the way across the Atlantic" after they confirmed Polvo's upcoming appearance at this spring's Explosions in the Sky-curated ATP Festival. We certainly did. We even spit. Then we put Exploded Drawing on and gyrated arhythmically for about an hour.
Lucky for us and our thinning nerves, Polvo announced that they wouldn't forsake the good old US of A. In May, original members Ash Bowie, Dave Brylawski and Steve Popson will be joined by Brian Quast (ex-Cherry Valence) on drums for some kicking and screaming the 00's wouldn't even know what to do with. Two dates have been confirmed thus far and there're several more to come. Keep your eyes peeled for additional tour updates.
