Brave Combo is, hands-down, the most dependable band in local music. They almost always play "The Chicken Dance," they never fail to start a party in concert and they add another platter of polka goodness to their merch table nearly every year; their 26th album in 26 years, Holidays, arrives in October. They've also won two Grammys and the prestigious Otis T. Fowler award, an honor bestowed by the Denton Chamber of Commerce upon those who have brought fame and recognition to Little D (a first for any new wave polka band, as far as we know). See them preview songs from their upcoming album on Saturday at the Sons, including surefire hits about Arbor Day and Groundhog Day.
