Polka Floyd returns to Detroit for Hamtramck Labor Day Festival

THE ONE & ONLY “POLKA FLOYD”
RETURNS TO DETROIT TO ROCK THE HAMTRAMCK LABOR DAY FESTIVAL!

After a rousing performance at The Hamtramck Festival last year, Toledo’s own The POLKA FLOYD show, “Pink Floyd done Polka style” tribute band makes a return appearance to the stage on Sunday, September 1 at the Hamtramck Labor Day Festival.

The POLKA FLOYD show pays tribute to Pink Floyd in their own way, featuring classic material from throughout the band’s history from the early Syd Barrett period to the epic “The Wall”, including “Comfortably Numb” the first song they covered together as a band. They have also performed the seminal “Dark Side of the Moon” album in its entirety.

What started out as a fun band rehearsal has taken on a life of i ts own. Along with their many headlining performances, the Polka Floyd show has also opened for notable acts including Unknown Hinson and ? & The Mysterians. They were also invited to play music festivals: The Shamybash in Columbus, Detroit Cityfest and the Hamtramck Festival’s “Polka Palooza.”

They have since taken the show on the road to enthusiastic audiences from Cleveland to Fargo.
In 2008, Static Records released their self-titled debut album that gives a unique spin on seven classic Pink Floyd tracks from six different albums that span three decades

The show is Sunday, September 1 at 3:30pm on the North Stage at the annual Hamtramck Labor Day Festival located on Jos Campau between Caniff and Carpenter in Hamtramck’s business district. The festival which runs all weekend is free and open to all ages.
