For almost four decades, The Dynatones were an innovating force that helped shape the modern sound of polka music so prevalent in the genre today. The Dynatones were one of the first polka groups in America with a contemporary "edge." With the energy of a "rock and roll" band, the Dynatones combined traditional melodies with Vegas showmanship, flashy promotion and raw talent to become one of the greatest polka bands ever to perform. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Flisak Krakowiak. Helen polka. Happy Go Strange. Under the bridge polka (Pod Mostem). Jailbird polka. Crazy about you oberek. A sampling of some of the most recognizable and influential songs in polka music's history, in part because of the popularity brought to each by The Dynatones unique interpretation. These songs and more form the basis for one of Sunshine Record's earliest offerings, "The Power of Ten" album by The Dynatones, a recording that helped kick-start the small Buffalo-based polka music record company's journey into becoming one of the largest distributors of polka music in the United States! The pairing of SCRUBBY and Larry Trojak in particular has proven to be one of the most popular in the polka music industry, with some anointing them the best polka duet singers in the business. For years SCRUBBY and Larry formed the vocal nucleus of the legendary Dynatones, and yet the band has always drawn rave reviews for their instrumentals as well. "The Power of Ten" captures all the best elements of The Dynatones at their very best and is an essential part of any well-rounded polka music collection. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Dynatones (as heard on this album) are: IPA Polka Hall of Famer Dave "SCRUBBY" Seweryniak, "HOF 1994" - concertina, vocals, Larry Trojak - drums, vocals, Dave "Nigel" Kurdziel - bass, piano, synth, Mike Burka - trumpet, Tom Picciano - trumpet, and Kevin Kurdziel - accordion.
