Incoming: Polka Dot Dot Dot in Lawrence, December 7
You might be asking yourself, “Who is this band Polka Dot Dot Dot, and where exactly in Lawrence are they playing?” That would be a very good question, and one to which I only have half an answer. They are a trio of musicians, who met randomly at a folk festival in New Zealand, despite all being from random points in the States.
They combined forces and now play a mix of folk, Tin Pan Alley, and medieval rounds. Lots of hand claps for percussion and lots of three-part harmonies make Polka Dot Dot Dot one of those bands suited to hearing outdoors or in somebody’s living room. Unfortunately, the band doesn’t seem to have a location firmed up for their December 7 stop in Lawrence. I’d keep checking their MySpace for updates.
You can listen to “Invisibrother,” off Syzygy, their new album on Bicycle Records, below.
