Polski is back by popular demand for Bastille Day part 2 at Bazin's on July 13th. Stay posted as we tune our instruments and get some more vocals in the monitor. man.

Where in the world was Polski hiding for these many orbits around sol? The usual haunts and some new ones: Southern Africa, Murdock Street, the ER at Mass General, Thompson Speedway, Beverly, Budapest and Bamako and places in between, Mountain View, Le Mons France, Topsfield, Tulsa, and the list goes on... ELK made a mini ELK and a major recovery from the brink of destruction, JGO made some edits to the upstairs, MSO started taking long motorcycle journeys with AVM. All the while, there were drums and amps and guitars in the garage, getting crowded by Acura Integra spare parts. These were finally called back into service when Bazin invited Polski to play alongside DaDa at Bastille day. It turns out, we remembered how to play some songs, and remembered that it feels good. As was mentioned to Tyler Durden: "We should do this again sometime."

The winds of change are blowing through Polskiland... MSO and ELK make some life altering decisions, JGO builds a new pantry, and our favorite haunt ye olde AllAsia will soon shutter its doors. But not before we rock out, as Daft punk would say, one. more. time... Friday Nov. 9th come help us pay tribute to AllAsia, a great local bar that gave so many bands their chance to shine. When you reach Rock heaven, say hi to CBGB's and House of Blues for us...

Thanks for all who made it out for the grad bash, anybody get any pics? We'll be taking a break this summer catching up on some projects, look out for a sneak attack this fall.

Polski will be returning to the stage on Friday June 8th at 9pm at, you guessed it, old reliable AllAsia on Mass Ave. See you there!

Can you believe it? Polski FIAT is about to reach the decade milestone. What are the key metrics to be thinking about for our ten year review? To date we've played 72 shows, and had many, many adventures. In our first 5 years, we toured the east coast, recorded 3 albums, and won some battle of the bands trophies. In our second 5 years we recorded but did not finish album number 4. Clearly this is because it is a magnum opus, and potentially the greatest album of all time, and not because we ran out of cowbells. We did squeeze in a couple international shows in South Africa, and MSO managed to squeeze a PhD out of his sphincter. Now venturing back into the light of day, Polski is gearing up and wheeling the 4rth album out to the runway again for its historic maiden voyage. Plan to see us hitting the clubs again, grinding out that old distinctive Polski sound, with some new aromas thrown in the mix. Rumor has it, the seventh word may finally be revealed... wait, does this count as blogging? this better not count as blogging...

Found an old photo in the archives, from Polski's 1985 debut. I think this was from when we toured with Dire Straits, or maybe a-ha. So aaanyway we're set to take the stage this Friday at all asia 8pm, an early show for once leaving plenty of time to pah-tay afterwards... Hope to see the gang there

Big thanks to everybody who came out and rocked the AllAsia on Saturday. We had the place packed to capacity and it was good times. Special shout out to Joey and his entourage for rolling in deep, glad to have you back this side buddy. Or is it brau now? Anyway according to the wink wink we won't be missing you too much longer. So now that the whole Polski crew is back in the USA we should probably get cracking on that 4rth album eh? Especially since songs for the 5th are already rolling off the line ...

We’ve confirmed a quick show at All Asia on 9/10, since we will all be on the same continent for a few days. It will be our only show for a few more months, likely the rest of the year. Hope to see all you fine people there!

So we muscled our way into another gig at Die Mystic Boer in Bloemfontein Saturday night, thanks to Mike & friends from Lesotho for making it out to the gig. Tshepo and Kevin saved the day after our original arrangements for borrowing equipment shit the bed. And thanks to the random England fans and Afrikaners who plied us with shooters during the set. Good fun, all around, bummer that the USA lost but so it goes. The Polski Boys are set to leave South Africa on Thursday night, so this wraps up our brief little Intercontinental Tour. Ayoba!

Sneaky, Sneaky Polski. Did we mention we are touring South Africa and watching some World Cup games? Oops... We went ahead and played our first international gig last night in Johannesburg at Back2Basix - like thieves in the night...sorry there wasnt much of a heads up but things kind of fell into place at the last moment. Special thanks to Sweet Pain for lending equipment and rehearsal space (you guys rock out), and Rambling Bones for use of drums and guitar kit at the gig. You guys made it happen. And thanks to Celeste at Back2Basix for co-running an awesome venue, we hope to be back someday!

Whats next? We are angling for Mystic Boer next Saturday in Bloem, we just need the USA to come in second in group C. Cmon guys you can DO IT!!!!
