"Being mostly a rock lover who never gave Polka more than a derisory passing thought, I really had my eyes opened by this great performing band. They smoke! This group of regular looking guys puts on an unbelievably accomplished and energized set; the driving beat is irresistible and the many layers of brass, accordion, guitar build up to make a terrific sound.

These musicians are truly adepts, polished as can be, filled with energy and having a great time. European polka music has an image of boring conservatism; in the US it apparently blossomed in the German and Czech dance halls of the South, where the atmosphere was anything but sedate, with the influences of Louisiana's and Mexico's music added in, and the powerful impact of a big band. If you're open to different kinds of music, check this out and you'll understand why the audiences apparently go crazy at their live concerts."
