‘Thank YOU!! Y’all killed it and made the reception sooo much fun and so memorable. Our family and friends were SO impressed and loved every second! Thank you thank you thank you!’ Lauren & Jason, Omaha Design Center, NE, Dec. 16, 2017

‘Sgt. Squeezebox & Lt. Lederhosen, Thank you so much for busting Mary Ann’s birthday party Friday! She was so surprised that we threw her this party and that we booked you guys for the entertainment! You guys are absolutely amazing and funny! Everyone really enjoyed the entertainment you provided! You guys are awesome people! Thanks for the excellent entertainment you both provided for our party! Couldn’t have asked for anything better! We look forward to booking you again in the future!’ Jamee & Luke M. Council Bluffs, IA, 12/15/2017

‘We hired the Polka Police for a party to celebrate a friend’s homecoming and we had a blast. The crowd ranged from teenagers to grandparents and the Polka Police entertained them all – including my brother the rocker and my 70-something Mom. In fact, my Dad asked me to book them for their 50th Wedding anniversary after the show.

The show is fun and quirky, but this band is no gimmick. they’re obviously really talented musicians and entertainers. I also appreciated that their portable system could be downsized to fit in our backyard. It sounded great, but didn’t blow the neighbors away.

We loved the show and will definitely hire them again!’ Dan Ellsworth, Denver, CO 8/3/2014

‘… the “Polka Police,” a wildly animated duo featuring an accordion playing “cop” and a drummer in a lederhosen getup proved most entertaining. Their suitcase kick drum added extra panache. “Lynyrd Skynyrd on an accordion,” laughed Hunka. “That’s a first.” He had a point, though they were hilariously good.’ Tamera Schlueter, Hastings Tribune, 5/8/2014

‘A goofy fun time!’ – on Q98.5 FM Pat & JT show, Jim Minge, OmahaDispatch.com, 1/7/15

‘My polka roots go back to the Six Fat Dutchmen playing on the John Deere Bandwagon on KEYC-TV in Mankato, MN. And, I’ve downloaded Ozzy’s ‘Crazy Train’ – so I know what I am talking about. The Polka Police is the world’s premier polka band covering your favorite music. If you get a chance – go see them! I would travel anywhere to see them!’ – Dr. Phil Harrington, K-LaserUSA, 4/21/2013

‘You might think that playing a suitcase as a kick-drum wouldn’t kick ass…but it does. You might think that AC/DC and the Glenn Miller Orchestra are not kindred spirits…but they are. At least they are in the capable musical hands of the Polka Police. They fuse classic-rock standards with stein-waving German beer hall style polkas.

What a formula: an accordion playin’ stripper cop (that doesn’t actually strip) and a lederhosen-wearing drummer playing a suitcase kick-drum…I think a rubber chicken was also involved somehow. I would never have guessed that this was the combination of sound and insanity to get me on the dance floor for the first time in years!

This duo rocked harder than bands that contain many more members. I have had them play at several events and have them booked for my upcoming event. Their appearance is both quizzical and comical…but they are always entertaining. My event was busted by the Polka Police… busted by a serious polka-groove that is!’ – Troy Muller, Art Director of New Century Art Guild, Kimballton, IA, 11/11/2013

St. Paul thank you note

‘Just a note to thank you so much for bringing the Polka Police to our party, last Friday night… It was such a hit, with everyone.
