Polkawood

We did not win a Grammy this year, but now maybe we can qualify for an Oscar or at least a Razzie award.
We have been asked to appear in a series of commercials for an insurance company, and while we are not sure which insurance company it is, the production company has told us that the ads will be "quirky like the Volkswagen ads."
So your guess is as good as ours as to what the actual insurance company is, it could be GEICO or it could be Eagle- who knows?
On Saturday we have a photo shoot for 4 hours before our Quencher's set- so stay tuned.

For you Irish folk out there- we have a special treat for you on Saturday. I know that St. Patrick's day is officially tomorrow but we will be playing a brand new song in honor of St. Pat's Day regardless.
Dandy Don has done it yet once again and the debut of "Is Ronald McDonald Irish?" will happen this Saturday- hey that alone is reason enough to come to our show!

For those that have asked: This is a benefit for Haas Park in Chicago and as such I am unable to put names on a guest list. If you want to see the show you'll have to get there early and pay yer $5. Hey the $5 is for a great cause!

I was able to listen to the rough mixes last night of what we have recorded thus far for the new album.
Even without all of the vocals, and lead guitar tracks on some songs I was still rockin' out to the music. I know I've already said this but this is going to be one hell of a great album! Of the 20 albums that I've ever recorded since I've lived in Chicago I think that this one is going to be one of the best! I honestly think it captures the wild and crazy extreme polka sound and that our fans of our live shows are going to be extremely pleased when it's released.
We get compared to Green Day quite often- and I think that this album has some of that early Green Day feel to it...it's Extreme Polka!
At this point we've recorded 14 songs but I am not positive if we will include all of them.

In other news: Sexy naked biker ckicks with huge.....ok had to throw that in so that this blog keeps coming up in people's searches for porn porn porn naked chicks hot and young...ok ok on to the business at hand.

The building where we are recording our new album at and where we rehearse has had several thousand dollars worth of equipment stolen last week. While the items taken were not ours it still pisses me off that there are assholes out there who continue to steal. The people that own the building where we rehears are two of the nicest people in the city and some dumb ass jerk ripped them off. The good news is that they know who ripped them off and the police are involved- so the equipment may not turn up but the perpetrators may be busted.
