guys you didn't miss much
Joan of Arc was all kinds of boring and Polvo only got to play for about 45 minutes (Chicago curfew). They also didn't play Tragic Carpet Ride. I don't like their new drummer; he puts too many unnecessary fills in (he tried his level best to ruin Bombs that Fall From Your Eyes). They've also changed a lot in their songs, adding harder rocking parts where there were quiet, tasteful breaks before. Their new songs were pretty good, though. They also cut Lazy Comet short, though. I talked to Ash Bowie after the show, and he said that Dave likes to play the song that way, and that he himself prefers the old version. Ash also has problems with tendonitis, and he told me about also his various acupuncture and acu-otherstuff treatments that he has to undergo in order to play shows. However, he assured me that Polvo will indeed tour the southern United States, so I can see them at a better, longer show, which I hope to do.
Tommy, they did play Every Holy Shroud, if that makes you happy
