I just saw the VW/ipod commerrcial with Polyphonic Spree (turn the music off on the main site, then try the polyphonic player).  Once again showing that VW Bug’s and Apple’s advertising are on the cutting edge.  They were one of the most amazing shows I saw at 2002 SXSW and had to see again this year.  By the end, you’re not sure if they are aping a cult or are trying to get you to join, but you don’t really care.  This 20-plus-piece band is one to see if you can get the chance!
They’ll be in NYC/Boston rsn, then europe for a bit, back in texas briefly in Sept (but not Houston), then sweeping about the usa.
