Polkacide was a band based in the San Francisco Bay Area that played "punk polka."
Band history Polkacide was an American band formed in 1985 in San Francisco, California. The band was originally organized to perform at a one-time event celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Deaf Club. None of the twelve original members were professional polka musicians; instead, they brought diverse musical backgrounds, including classical, rock, punk, and jazz. Clarinetist Neil Kaitner coined the band's name and designed its logo, which features a skull and crossed sausages.
The band subsequently appeared on the Doctor Demento television show and made several recordings. After 32 years together, they played a farewell concert on 8 October 2017, entitled "The Last Polka." References
