 Ever wonder what the music of Pink Floyd would sound like polka style? Well find out for yourself when Toledo’s own POLKA FLOYD, “Pink Floyd done Polka style” tribute band celebrates their CD release party on Saturday, February 9 at the New Dodge Lounge in Hamtramck.
The POLKA FLOYD show pay tribute to Pink Floyd in their own way and features classic material from throughout the bands history, from early Syd Barrett period to the epic “The Wall.” They have also performed the “Dark Side of the Moon” album in its entirety. The bands debut CD “the Polka Floyd show” features 7 songs including “See Emily Play,” Pink Floyd’s second single.

The POLKA FLOYD show is the latest project of native Detroiter and musician Ken Haas who lends his guitar and vocals to this unique band. Haas is a veteran of many bands including The Culture Bandits, The Hoolapoppers, Kids from Krypton and most recently plays in The Zimmerman Twins. This project came about unexpectedly after Ken and fellow Toledo musicians from the nationally renowned polka band Crusade got together to jam. Messing around with some Pink Floyd tunes, they added a polka twist to the classic rock songs and a new band was born. They played their first gig in their hometown to an enthusiastic sold out crowd.
The Polka Floyd CD Release party is Saturday, February 9, 9pm at the New Dodge Lounge located at 8850 Joseph Campau St. in Hamtramck, 313-874-5963. 21 & over are welcome and cover is $5. The band will be playing two sets.
Polka Floyd will also be playing an afternoon show on “Fat Tuesday”, Feb. 5 for “Paczki Day” at Paczki Post Central at the P.L.A.V. Post 10 located at 11824 Joseph Campau in Hamtramck-313-893-1355 for more info.
