Crayola Missed the Boat

So Polvo week kind of fizzled and died. My brother is a very busy boy and so the emails dried up but don't fear, more Polvo missives will come in time. For all those waiting desperately to hear our thoughts on Cor-Crane Secret, you'll just have to wait a little bit longer.

Even though we don't have news of the recent Polvo reformation show we can still party like it's 1994 - the year indie rock and ringer tees ruled the land. It was also the year of the greatest color to ever descend on the music world. That color is Indie Rock Orange. I don't know if this is a color we invented due to the overabundance of bright orange band t shirts sold by drummers after shows or if it was a nationally recognized occurrence but it was the shade of choice for New Balance wearing indie kids who could be found at tiny clubs dotting the Northeast doing the dance that the Dismemberment Plan so aptly called "The Standing Still." It was a time when bands listed the members by first name only in the album credits and sloppy artwork and amateur musicianship were the norm.

I searched Google and Wikipedia and all over the internet but couldn't find any mention of Indie Rock Orange so it must have been a term common only to my circle of friends but it lives on to this day. I also couldn't find any images of old Polvo T shirts so check out the shirt on the left here and imagine that the P stand for Polvo.
