from wiki:
Polvo is an American indie noise rock band of the 1990s from Chapel Hill, North Carolina. The band was fronted by guitarists/vocalists Ash Bowie and Dave Brylawski. Eddie Watkins played drums, and Steve Popson played bass guitar.

Polvo are widely considered to be standard bearers of a genre which came to be known as math rock[1], although in interviews the band disavowed that categorization[2]. Their sound was defined by complex and dissonant guitar harmonies and driving rhythm, complementing cryptic, often surrealist lyrics. Their sound was so unpredictable and angular that the band's guitarists were often accused of failing to play with correctly tuned guitars. Polvo's songs and artwork frequently featured Asian/"exotic" themes and references. The band's name means "dust" in Spanish; in Spain it also is a slang word for sex.

Their recent shows have been great. We have a benefit show that they played 8/17/08 at the Cat's Cradle in Chapel Hill available at http://www.cytunes.org/album/26/

We are a volunteer-run organization and all money goes to fighting cancer in memory of our friend Cy Rawls.
