On Thanksgiving and Exmas, at the Polkacave. Oh wait, that's our secret hideout... but the parties are epic.

For public consumption, wait for the announcement of our 25th Anniversary Show, likely in February, 2010.

If we'd thought we would've lived this long, we would've tried harder.

Polkacide The guys said this was the best of times - great food, great location, great host. These are just a few of the photos - candid ones of the guys not onstage, though they definitely played.

Hi Guys, I have finally recovered from the hangover I got at the party and I wanted to thank you again for playing. The music was great and your friendship was better. See you soon.

Polkacide
Founded in 1985, Polkacide was originally organized to play a one-night stand for the Deaf Club in San Francisco. The Deaf Club (an actual club for deaf people) had been hiring punk bands to perform. When it was suggested that some did not want a punk band, an inspired band leader and founder Ward Abronski, along with... his long term girlfriend and Polkacide's first drummer, Hayok Kay, formed a "really loud polka band" to play. When the gig was cancelled (ironically for noise abatement), Ward realized it was too good of an idea with too many great musicians, to just let die. He booked the band for San Francisco's punk club The Mabuhay on February 8, 1985. Unfortunately, the Mab misspelled their names on the flyers but the rest, as they say, is history. Since then, Polkacide has played with such diverse groups as Sun Ra, Primus (Basa guest with his ocarina at The Fillmore), Brave Combo, k.d. lang, The Dead Kennedys, and many, many more.
