The Polka Chicks is from Finland, consisting of two chicks: fiddler Kukka Lehto and accordionist Teija Niku. In 2009, the then-trio found themselves as "Band of the Year" at the Kaustinen Folk Music Festival, the same year that they released a self-titled album.
The Polka Chick's latest Viulu ja viinantilkka (A Fiddle and a Drop of Liquor) is available now Ääniä Records. According to the record label, the album features songs about singing and drinking to hide your sorrows, unfaithfulness and loveless childhood.
Anyway, the duo is currently in Midwest, having just performed in Minnesota's "Scandinavian Folk Music Festival" and now in Minneapolis for a mini-tour with Kaivama. Kaivama and The Polka Chicks will be at the Cedar Cultural Center in Minneapolis tonight.
