Polvo & Sebadoh at CBGB's (01-17-1992)

On January 17th, 1992, CBGB’s hosted a double bill featuring Polvo and Sebadoh! Polvo had just wrapped up recording their first album, Cor-Crane Secret, earlier that month. Sebadoh had released their third studio album, III, in late 1991. III was the first full-length Sebadoh album to feature Jason Loewenstein, who joined the band's two founding members Lou Barlow and Eric Gaffney in 1989, and debuted on the "Gimme Indie Rock" single earlier that year.

Sebadoh were also featured in the New York Times on the same date. Below is an excerpt, and you can read the whole thing here. The New York Times then reviewed the show on January 20th, 1992, which you can read here.

They called the project Sebadoh (pronounced SEB-uh-doe), a nonsense word, and their first songs, some less than a minute long, were about friendship, isolation, trust, jealousy and very tentative affection; distorted, low-fidelity recording and extraneous noises made the music sound like sketchy rock rather than earnest folky songs. When Dinosaur Jr.'s album "You're Living All Over Me" was released in 1989, cassettes of Sebadoh's first collection, "Weed Forestin'," were given away with it at Boston record stores.
