Press Release, September 2007
Happy Schnapps Combo Starts Suckin’
Manitowoc WI.
“The Happy Schnapps Combo is back in business”,
exclaimed manager Ron Kalista.
The five-piece recording band has entertained thousands in the
Midwest since 1990 with their
original polka music at venues such as Milwaukee’s
Summerfest and the Wisconsin State Fair.
The Combo has regrouped after spending several years relaxing in
local taverns
after the retirement of Bill “Horst” Soucy, the
band’s former harmonica player.
Horst reports a happy retirement, consisting mainly of
shuffleboard and sheepshead tournaments.
The group features original member Rich “Wenzel”
Krueger on drums and gong.
Other returning members are Steve “Field Marshal
Guenter” Klein, and
Eric “Klaus” Werner, both on electrically amplified
guitar.
New bassist Rob “Fynkylmyr” Maertz (Fink) and Dave
“Stosh” Dvorak on
harmonica and diatonic accordion complete the combo’s line
up.
The Happy Schnapps Combo achieved success with such songs as
“The Bears Still Suck Polka”
and “No, I Don’t Wanna Do Dat”. New songs under
development include, “The Porta Potty Polka”
and “I Was Born Under a Beer Sign”.
A cover of Norm Dombrowski’s “Astronaut Polka” is
also in the works.
The band intends to perform 20 to 30 times a year at festivals
and events across the Midwest.
Booking information can be obtained by calling Ron Kalista at 920-775-4943.
