Description:
• Thursday, October 16th • Ska/Punk – Warsaw Poland Brothers presented by Jagermeister - www.myspace.com/warsawpolandbros • Tix $6 @ the door
Founded in 1990 by Chris Poland, The Warsaw Poland Brothers are less a band than an institution. For years they have tirelessly toured North America and Hawaii, independently selling over 100,000 CDs, and logging over 580,000 miles on their latest tour van. Their brutal touring schedule and zealous commitment to the live show inspired a generation of ska/punk musicians including Slightly Stoopid and Authority Zero (both of whom used to open for the Poland Brothers before making it big) but also burnt through musicians like brake pads.
With a rotating cast of players the Brothers struggled to maintain the band, touring with as many as six musicians to as few as three. By 2007 the Warsaw Poland Bros, now led by younger brother and lead guitarist, Aaron Poland, had assembled a top notch rhythm section (cousin Vladimir Poland on drums, and NW latin-jazz ringer Dallas Huber on bass) but lacked the dual trombone sound that made Warsaw legendary in the late 90s. Then in March 2008, as if by some celestial conspiracy, both of the Poland Brothers' original trombone players (the legendary Monkeybone and Drago) called Aaron out of the blue. "These guys are true trombone virtuosos" Says Aaron, "Individually, either is amazing, but together they are truly unbelievable! To have them both come out of retirement and back on the road at the same time was like a sign- I knew I had to keep the tour going" That tour, which started in the mid 90's and shows no sign of letting up, heads through Montana Oct 14th-18th.
