The band's enthusiasm, their love for the music they perform, their versatility, ability to embrace a wide range of styles, and their dedication to strong, lively performances make the E.F.O. an enduring success.
In 2010, Polka Hall of Famers Mike Matousek and Frank Liszka, along with former band mates Al Puwalski and Jeff Yash, reunited and added the talents of polka veterans Mike Evan and David Morris to form The Boys. The original band was founded in 1980 and played their signature style of polka music until the group disbanded in 1990.
