So, I think that, really, I would hope that what [BraveCombo is] about is having an open mind to any style of music and not deciding that one style is bad and the other is good.
The BraveCombo treatment is applied to compositions by Bach, Chopin, Tchaikovsky and a number of other classical greats.
BraveCombo, who frequently hears the phrase I dont usually like polka but I love you guys, has shouldered the daunting task of educating audiences to how good polkas can be because general perception runs the opposite direction.
Each year for the past three, BraveCombo has released an album that is, at least on first listen, so musically different from its predecessor that it seems it must have come from a different band.
The Maryland-based children's act approached BraveCombo after catching their 1997 performance at the Live Oak Music Festival in Santa Barbara, Calif. Watching the crowd of children and adults shake their booties and other assorted body parts to the high-energy music, Fink and Marxer began toying with the notion of a collaboration.
Combo will try the same approach when they play the Ridglea Theater in Fort Worth on March 30; an early show at 8:30 will be more family-oriented, then the second show, at 11 p.m., will see the band pull out all the stops for one of its polka-flavored rock shows.
