"A brilliantly clever concept!" -- Joe Chiccarelli, Grammy-winning Producer
"Artists like Weird Al, Polka Floyd and now Veronique Chevalier are showing us that polkas can not only rock, they can be valid methods of artist personal expression. It takes a lot of talent to pull something like this off, but Chevalier has it aplenty." -- Lee Widener, Founder - Never Ending Wonder Radio
"Let’s face it: there’s a frightful shortage of good Halloween music. Veronique Chevalier agrees, which is why she’s put together Polka Haunt Us, a “spook-tacular” compilation of [what she] dubs 'World Gothic Polka.' -- Chris Saccheri, Editor- Let's Polka- All Things Accordion
'"Polka Haunt Us" is a great addition to the radio program...I look forward to receiving future releases from your label." -- Craig Ebel, Host- It's Polka Time, Nationally-syndicated Radio Program
"A new kind of concept album - a first for Halloween, and a first for polka music: a Halloween polka album. Great new compositions- funny and spooky!! Polka Haunt Us is a great fun album to listen to, and is sure to please polka fans around the world! Well done! Looking forward to their Christmas album!!" -- Phill N., Host- Polka Radio Melbourne Podcast

Polka Haunt Us: A Spook-tacular Compilation
These are some of the honored performers and participants on Polka Haunt Us!
Veronique Chevalier is a member of: NARAS- The Grammy Organization
Polka Haunt Us sure as HELL ain't yer Grammy™'s Polka & we're DAMNED proud of it!
Polka Haunt Us™ is a compilation recording, containing 13 original spooky tracks, each based upon famous ghostly traditions from different regions around the world. (Vampire Surprise has been included as bonus track) destined to be a perennial Halloween/Dia de Los Muertos/All Saints Day classic.
Different sub-genres of polka and waltz were merged in unholy alliance with World Music and other unusual musical combinations- from Klezmer to Folk, Metal to Country, Asian to Reggae- resulting in a delightfully dark melange of music (or 'Sonic Frankenstein' if you will) best described as "World Gothic Polka."
Inclusion in the project was by invitation only. * * * * * A Cyphyre Music LLC Production. All rights reserved * * * * *
Who is Veronique?
In addition to her 6 MySpace profiles, Veronique is known as The "Weird Val" of Cabaret, for her hilarious parodies and side-splitting covers. (Imagine if Jim Morrison and Elvira had a twisted, Edith Piaf-like love child).
She is the recipient of The Unanimous Choice Award for Best Independent Cabaret Artist by the Los Angeles Music Awards for her benefit recording Cabaret4Choice.
Deemed "too extreme for Simon" she was gonged off the first season of "America's Got Talent", after only 20 seconds, which only proves her gifts are wasted on the masses.
Why Spooky Polka? What better vehicle for a MADemoiselle of mixed heritage, (Polish/French/Lithuanian), who grew up attending 13 different schools, whilst traversing the globe?

"Ticklin' The Strings" by Sweet Hollywaiians Amazing Japanese hot string band playing 1920's, 30's, 40's style hawaiian, swing, calypso, blues, italian music and originals,featuring vintage instruments.3 songs with Robert Armstrong and Tony Marcus(from Robert Crumb and His Cheap Suit Serenaders)
"The Sweet Hollywaiians have probably the best feel for this 20's music of any string band working today. They manage the rare feat of sounding relaxed even when their playing is hot, are top notch musicians with tasteful arrangements and a full, rich, warm sound.Plus, they have a nice gamut of tunes, from King Nawahi to Giovanni Vicari to Bobby Leecan. See them live, if you can, for an unforgettable experience. If you can't, buy their Cds!" ~ Terry Zwigoff

Santisima Muerte, Tu que me conoces, tu que me escuchas dame la oportunidad de encontrar el amor, se que si me la merezco me ha de ayudar, y que si es el momento, habra de llegar. Yo te prometo amar y respetar a esa persona y te prometo ganar dia a dia su amor. Mi corazon latira por el(ella) y dia a dia con mi esfuerzo lo demostrare. Santa Muerte, con tu luz alumbra mi camino y permite llegar al lugar exacto, en el momento adecuado y con la persona con la que sere feliz. No me desampares y bendiceme con el amor. Asi Sea.
Goth Polka! Yeah baby!! Well, here's some heavy metal reggae ukulele for yas.... :>) nice tunes and ukeystrummin'! Just stoppin' by to drop off some BurroSpam from Road Apple Records.... My old friend King Gully was the first Rasta surfer on the wild North Shore of Barbados. This song, imaginatively also named "King Gully", is based on his true story. It's been described as a cross between "I Shot The Sheriff" and "Puff The Magic Dragon". :>) And there's ukulele under all those dang gitarz! I think you'll like it, as well as the video, with shots of great surfing and amazing waves, all from Barbados! Enjoy.... (Cut & paste....) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjFRtKuXJ6E
