The Polyphonic Spree are back out on the road, bringing their good-time cheer and revelry to adoring audiences in much the same vein as they have been doing for the past ten years. If you haven’t seen them since their early 2000’s heyday, here’s what you missed: Nothing.
A Van Halen tribute band? In a coveted Saturday late-night spot at Bonnaroo 2012? With Skrillex playing late night on the Which Stage, perhaps the organizers (or his management) didn’t want to put another electronic act opposite him.
