grogshop.gs - "Grammmy Award winners, Brave Combo specialize in a unique brand of domestic and exotic dance rhythms that fuel what Billboard calls "world-wise, unclassifiable music." Growing out of their love and affinity for the polka sounds of Europe and America, Brave Combo's recorded experiments have included everything from Latin American dance tunes to Japanese pop. As Rolling Stone described their release A Night on Earth, "the elements...are interpreted through the high-energy filter of rock dynamics." Their success at combining what FINCH calls "a barrage of incongruous elements" flows from their deep sincerity, outstanding musicianship, and a firm belief that music should be fun and life-affirming. "Music is vital to our life on Earth," FINCH says, "and we ignore that vitality when we let it become some sort of fashion statement. We like to play certain styles that people may not think they like, and then they realize that polka, or whatever, is actually pretty cool." That's one reason the Chicago Tribune dubs them "a party band with a purpose."
