Polka Madre (mexico D.F.)
Extra Action Marching Band
DJ Lake Winnipesaukee

Saturday, March 22nd. An amusing evening of exotic
entertainment awaits you at the 12 Galaxies.
Acclaimed
as indescribable, MexiGypsiePunks Polka Madre stop
through San francisco bringing international flavors
and unusual art including a collection of motorized
2.5 meter-tall humanoid puppets assembled from
various
animal bones that dance in time to the music. Local
favorites, the Extra Action Marching Band will
titillate and traumatize in surreal, exciting ways.
The enigmatic DJ Lake Winnipesaukee will not take
requests.

Polka Madre has surprised international audiences
with the originality of their compositions and the
energy, sarcasm and humor of its live shows.
Conceived
in Mexico City, Polka Madres influences are the old
sounds of Gypsy and Eastern European cultures. Their
repertoire ranges from euphoric polkas to melancholic
waltzes to punk, rock, klezmer, circus and classical
music.
