What type od dance music inspired the band, "The Kabalas"?
Polka
Kabalas
The Kabalas were a four-piece band out of the Quad Cities area of the American Mid-West whose musical foundations were based firmly in a traditional Eastern European Klezmer style that mixed in Jewish folksongs, Israeli popular songs, Polka and popular music.
 The members of the band were Scott Morschhauser (vocals, accordion, guitar, percussion); Barry "The Wolfman" Wolf (accordion); "Nervous" Neal Smith (saxophones, backup vocals, flute, clarinet); and the late "Mr." Joel Dick (drums, percussion).
 On stage, their performance was a blend of vaudeville antics and great musicianship.
 Their traditional closing song was "Hey Lordy Mambo" where the drummer would play with four sticks and set them on fire.
Polka
The polka is originally a Czech dance and genre of dance music familiar throughout Europe and the Americas.
 It originated in the middle of the 19th century in Bohemia, now part of the Czech Republic.
 Polka remains a popular folk music genre in many European countries, and is performed by folk artists in the Czech Republic, Germany, Austria, Poland, Croatia, Slovenia, Switzerland, and to a lesser extent in Latvia, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Hungary, Italy, Ukraine, Romania, Belarus, Russia, and Slovakia.
 Local varieties of this dance are also found in the Nordic countries, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Latin America and the United States.
Milton Brown
Milton Brown (September 7, 1903 – April 18, 1936) was an American band leader and vocalist who co-founded the genre of Western swing.
 His band was the first to fuse hillbilly hokum, jazz, and pop together into a unique, distinctly American hybrid, thus giving him the nickname, "Father of Western Swing".
 The birthplace of Brown's upbeat "hot-jazz hillbilly" string band sound was developed at the Crystal Springs Dance Hall in Fort Worth, Texas from 1931 to 1936.
 Brown's music inspired the great string jazz musicians from Europe, Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grapelli who in 1935 formed the Hot Club de Paris quintet. Underground dance music
The term underground dance music (short version in music jargon: UDM) has been applied to artistic dance music movements, such as early 1970s disco and 1980s Chicago house, but the term has since then come to be defined by any electronic dance or house music artist/band that avoids becoming a trend/mainstream nowadays.
 Other early "underground dance music" artists include Little Louie Vega, Tony Humphries, Larry Levan, David Mancuso, Frankie Knuckles, Nicky Siano, Lenties Deep and many others.
 In the late 1970s, the term underground dance music was associated with the music initially played at places like Paradise Garage, The Loft and The Warehouse. Traditional Nordic dance music
Traditional Nordic dance music is a type of traditional music or folk music that once was common in the mainland part of the Nordic countries — Scandinavia plus Finland.
 The person who plays this kind of music might be called "speleman" (Swedish/Norwegian), "spelman" (Swedish), "spel(l)emann" (Norwegian), "pelimanni" (Finnish) or "spillemand" (Danish).
 Finnish traditional dance music is often called "pelimanni music" in English, while there does not seem to exist a similar, widespread term for the corresponding music from the other countries.
 It is often more meaningful to distinguish between the traditional dance music from different regions than between music from the countries as such.
 Some concepts in the field can be defined as Norwegian or Finnish, but most are either common to all four countries or local.
 Besides the dance music tradition, all countries also have other traditions of folk music that are not shared to a similar extent. Music Inspired by Watership Down
Music Inspired by Watership Down is a progressive rock album by Swedish musician Bo Hansson.
 The album is Hansson's fourth solo album and is, as its name suggests, built around musical ideas inspired by Richard Adams' heroic fantasy novel "Watership Down".
 It was the second album of Hansson's to have been based on a novel; his first solo album, "Music Inspired by Lord of the Rings", had likewise been based on J. R. R. Tolkien's "The Lord of the Rings".
 Hansson had already composed and released a musical suite inspired by "Watership Down" on his previous album "Attic Thoughts".
 However, beyond its title, the "Music Inspired by Watership Down" album contains few overt references to the novel and instead features excerpts from the works of various poets, such as John Keats and Alexander Pope. Mental Overdrive
Mental Overdrive is the primary solo moniker of Per Martinsen (born 31 July 1966), one of Norway's most prolific and influential techno musicians.
 His tracks have ranged from hardcore rave techno to vibrant space-disco, and he's always maintained a healthy balance of humor and braininess.
 Active since 1990, he began his career releasing several 12" EPs of aggressive, rave-ready hardcore techno on revered Belgian label R&S, including 12000 AD (1990), The Second Coming (1991), Move!
 (as Confusion Club, 1991), and The Love EP (1992).
 In 1994, Martinsen began releasing atmospheric techno singles as part of Illumination, his duo with Nicholas Sillitoe.
 The next year, Mental Overdrive released the single "Disto Disco," which featured a B-side ("Faith") co-written by R&S artist Outlander, best known for the 1991 classic "Vamp."
 The A-side appeared on Mental Overdrive's full-length debut Plugged, released on Martinsen's own Love OD Communications.
 The album showed a notable progression in his music, maintaining its rough, distorted hardcore techno sound while adding more cerebral elements, placing it closer to Warp's Artificial Intelligence series.
 Martinsen displayed his sense of humor with 1996's Unplugged, a limited conceptual release containing silent "versions" of the tracks on Plugged.
 083 In 1997, Mental Overdrive signed to Virgin and released About Jazz, a significantly more house/disco-influenced EP than his previous work.
 This was followed by full-length Ad Absurdum, which continued in a more light-hearted and funky direction than his previous releases.
 He took a few years off from releasing Mental Overdrive recordings, instead devoting time to Frost (his more pop-focused electronic duo with his wife Aggie Peterson) and Illumination, which released two albums on RCA.
 Following the 2003 release of Mental Overdrive's Me EP on Love OD, he signed to Norwegian label Smalltown Supersound and released full-length 083, which featured the single "Diskodans."
 In 2005, the label compiled his early R&S material on CD as The Phuture That Never Happened.
 Two years later, Mental Overdrive's single "Spooks" appeared on Prins Thomas' Full Pupp label.
 The song appeared on his next Smalltown full-length, You Are Being Manipulated, which was released in 2008.
 The album was perfectly at home with the label's other left-field dance artists like Bjørn Torske and Kim Hiorthøy, while maintaining the unique Mental Overdrive sound.
 Martinsen continued releasing Mental Overdrive singles on Full Pupp and Love OD, and contributed to Rune Lindbæk's Meanderthals project.
 In 2012, he released Man with a Movie Camera, an EP featuring music he'd composed for a 1996 screening of the Russian silent film of the same name, which also featured pieces by Biosphere which would later appear on the 2001 remaster of his classic album Substrata.
 Mental Overdrive returned to his Love OD label for 2013 full-length Cycls, as well as 2014's Everything Is Connected, which compiled a few previously released EPs.
 In 2016, Full Pupp sublabel Rett I Fletta released a new version of Plugged consisting of alternate takes sourced from the original DAT tapes.

The Send was an alternative rock project of Falling Up ex-guitarist, Joseph A. Kisselburgh of Albany, Oregon, currently signed to Tooth & Nail Records.
 His debut album, "Cosmos", was released on July 31, 2007.
 Before this was even released, though, his song, "The Fall", was featured on "Charlotte's Web: Music Inspired By The Motion Picture", a compilation album with music inspired by the 2006 movie of Charlotte's Web.
 On June 23 The Send began a winter retreat with labelmate, Hawk Nelson, around Major League Baseball venues.
 The first single off "Cosmos" was "An Epiphany," which quickly gained some success, reaching No. 5 on Christian Hit Radio. Sick Individuals
Sick Individuals is a Dutch electronic dance music act consisting of Rinze "Ray" Hofstee and Joep "Jim" Smeele.
 The two met in Hilversum, Netherlands (2008) while studying Music Composition.
 Jim and Ray had been composing for television commercials until their mutual fascination for both classical and modern music inspired their business partnership in 2010, when Sick Individuals was born. Dance music
Dance music is music composed specifically to facilitate or accompany dancing.
 It can be either a whole musical piece or part of a larger musical arrangement.
 In terms of performance, the major categories are live dance music and recorded dance music.
 While there exist attestations of the combination of dance and music in ancient times (for example Ancient Greek vases sometimes show dancers accompanied by musicians), the earliest Western dance music that we can still reproduce with a degree of certainty are the surviving medieval dances.
 In the Baroque period, the major dance styles were noble court dances (see Baroque dance).
 In the classical music era, the minuet was frequently used as a third movement, although in this context it would not accompany any dancing.
 The waltz also arose later in the classical era.
 Both remained part of the romantic music period, which also saw the rise of various other nationalistic dance forms like the barcarolle, mazurka, ecossaise, ballade and polonaise.
