This post didn’t end up on the wrong blog, I swear! Accordion doesn’t have to equal your great aunt’s polka music, it can be an equal mix of masculinity and beauty much like the mythical unicorn. That’s why The Petrojvic Blasting Company is playing the Monsters of Accordion 2010 tour whose last stop parks it at the Troubadour on Dec. 19th with other squeezebox superstar acts. There is just something about folk and Gypsy punk that allows it to translate from the street corner to the stage so easily, and The Petrojvic Blasting Company is a fine example. If they don’t excite a jig from the crowd, they may be brewing a barrom brawl – I can’t wait!
