Poly’s 7″ Release Party on Saturday at Zombieshop

Ok, you’re going to think I am just cleaning out my inbox here, but check out this email I got from Dan Sommers of Poly yesterday. I just thought that the post would be said best by him, so… take it away Dan.

Hi, Matt!

My name’s Dan Sommers- I’ve played/play in a bunch of stuff around town, but I wanted to blindly email you about a 7″ release we’re having this Saturday at Zombieshop. The band is Poly- it’s Larissa Maestro, Eleonore Denig, & me.

We have very few rules, but they are:

-there are three of us

-all acoustic instruments

-no guitar

-no drums

We sing slightly silly songs about scissors, sidewalk chalk, Cary Grant, parachutes, cats, and love, I suppose.

An incomplete list of instruments we use:

cello, violin, ukulele, banduria, mandocello, upright bass, melodica, suitcase kick, trumpet, trombone, kazoos, assorted percussion of both hands and feet, toy piano, glockenspiel, three voices, & magic

We’re a little ridiculous. We switch around instruments a lot.

Okay! So it’s probably best to just let you hear/see some of it-
