  • The band formed without the intention of being a band. According to Kelly, they decided that it'd be cool for the coolest kids in Illinois to play music, but not just any music. xPoLkAcOrEx was the way to go. Kelly, who plays lead accordion, writes most of the killer riffs, whilst McCaughan (rhythm accordion), and Hennessey (glockenspiel), are the masters behind the vocals. Kelly's trademark growl is perfect for the yodels needed to make the perfect xPoLkAcOrEx music. They started making music no American in their right mind would listen to, so they mainly played at small Swiss restaurants. But small Swiss restaurants werent enough they later played for just mainly gay men cornish gay men you could say.
