Polkaholix

Open your eyes. The time has come to realize that Punk, Reggae, Ska, Heavy Metal and Rock'n'Roll are all really just POLKA!
POLKAHOLIX are Men on a Mission and the Mission is Polka. Mission Accomplished? Read on:

In December 2012 the intrepid POLKAHOLIX celebrated their 10th birthday in polka-space. In that time, they’ve played over 800 shows; it’s clear that this polka-mission does not have a problem.
2013 was a busy year as they have presented their new CD 'Jalapeño' with concerts in Denmark, Austria, Poland, Italy and Germany – wherever the faithful await their appearance.

THE POLKAHOLIX STORY
On December 13th 2002, a bunch of musicians were partying. Suddenly, over the radio, came ‘Weird Al’ Yankovic, with ‘The Hot Rocks Polka’, consisting of Rolling Stones classics performed in 2:4 time. Huh? Polka rhythms?
For the musicians, it was a revelation: rock’n’roll is polka, no more, no less!
Punk? Ska? Rockabilly, surf music, heavy metal? All polka! No more beating around the bush!! Tell it like it is!!
The POLKAHOLIX spontaneously formed the same evening; after a baptism of rehearsals and cases of Böhmisch beer, they undertook to spread the Polka-word across the world.
After testing the Berlin club scene, the first Great Polka Service was held at the Rudolstadt festival in 2003. The flood broke – the POLKAHOLIX were invited to deliver Holy Polka across the length and breadth of Europe.
Devotional POLKAHOLIX releases to date: ‘Denkste’ (2003), ’The Great Polka Swindle’ (2007), ’PolkaFace’ (2010) and ‘Rattenscharf’ (2013). The POLKAHOLIX were deluged with chart placings, blessings, nominations, beatifications and awards. The number of the faithful grew.
The blessed brass and guitars of the POLKAHOLIX take no prisoners.
The year 2013 was a fantastic and successful mission with more than eighty Polka Services - the end is not nigh! Polka On!
