Polydypsia - New Year's Eve 2007 - The Anchor Inn - Omaha, NE
Polydypsia formed with it's original line-up in June of 2005 and has steadily taken big strides toward becoming something more than just your average band. The group plays mostly in Omaha and Lincoln Nebraska, but over the course of the last year they have expanded into playing festivals like Wakarusa and 10,000 Lakes and extensively touring the mid-west in between. The members of Polydypsia all come from varied backgrounds that blend well as they take the stage. The music is ever-changing and evolving as they explore uncharted ideas. These guys use their backgrounds in jazz, funk, and rock to create new and diverse soundscapes for their steadily growing and loyal fanbase. With influences like Frank Zappa, George Benson, Miles Davis, P-Funk, Ramsey Lewis, The Weather Report, and many more these guys surely quench the need for some soul shakin. The sounds that make up Polydypsia are Mind Melting Guitar, Jaw Droppin' Keys, Rippin Bass, Stirring Vocals, and a Percussion section that just won't quit. They have shared the stage with RAQ, Ivan Neville's Dumpstaphunk, The Station, Jah Roots, The Breakfast, My-Tea Kind, The Sugar-Free Allstars, The Helping Phriendly Band, Anchondo, Blue Turtle Seduction, Somasphere, The Balance, The Willie Waldman Project w/ Jim and Vinnie from moe., The Electric Soul Method and others... In addition to the 10,000 Lakes Festival, Wakarusa and Dogstock, Polydypsia puts on a festival of their own every year. Always held in November around thanksgiving, the title of the festival is "Thanksgrooving" and it is all to benefit the Omaha Food Bank! Polydypsia means "excessive thirst", come out soon quench yourself and get down. Until then, stay thirsty.
