The Polkaholics

Band,

Guitarist 'Dandy Don' Hedeker formed the Polkaholics in '97 in Chicago. Traditional polka and polka type songs played with non traditional instruments (drums, bass, and guitar). A fusion of his two main influences: the polka standards of Windy City polka king Lil' Wally and the '70s punk explosion of late guitar god Johnny Thunders (of New York Dolls). What began as a crash-course cover of the traditional 'Beer Barrel Polka' grew into a deep respect for Windy City polka forerunners like The Pala Brothers, The Naturals and Eddie Zima.
