Gogol Bordello

14 Days! Let the Countdown Begin People! Gogol Bordello is a band of "gypsy rock" and hopefully I'll be seeing them at roo.

Great show. Great gypsy. Great klezmer. Great jigs. Who knew "world beat" didn't have to suck? (This vid is not from Vegas but catches the general vibe.)

I've got a 1967 Random Ten ready to post, but I just got back from seeing Gogol Bordello live, and wanted to post my thoughts on that now. Holy shit. That's the quick review. I suppose I could say a few more things. There's the music itself, which you can appreciate via their records, what they call Gypsy Punk. Then there's the stage performance, and that's where the holy shit comes in. There are six basic members of the band, and they're quite a crew on their ... MORE

The right half of my face is covered in sweat...someone else's sweat. I can barely move, bruises are already starting to form all over my body and I doubt that I'll ever be able to hear anything again. But I don't care. You see, I've just spent the past three hours in the front row of a Gogol Bordello gig and no amount of pain can detract from the sheer euphoria that such an energetic performance can induce. The show kicked of with the famous DJ Scratchy and his roc... MORE

Yes, after years of longing I finally have a copy of Gogol Bordello's elusive, and embarrassing to ask for, EP. And like all infections, i just gotta spread it...

Mogstars: 9 out of 10 Some years ago “Gypsy punk!” would most likely be an insult, but thanks to the crazy crusade of Gogol Bordello and their charismatic frontman Eugene Hutz it is now one of the most exciting musical genres around. Combining everything from reggae to Cossack the multi-cultural band are constantly re-writing the musical recipe book. After breaking the mainstream with 2005’s Gypsy Punks: Underdog World Strike and an endless stream of high energy shows th... MORE

gogol bordello at the 9:30 club in DC. just knowing that i am starting my day listening to this seems to guarantee that it will be a good day. seeing gogol bordello is up there in my top 10 shows of my life and believe me that is saying a lot considering how many shows i have been to and who i have seen. It doesn't quite capture the joy of seeing them live, but have a listen anyways. http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=11907007... MORE

Gogol Bordello has released a new video for the track "Wonderlust King" from their July 10th release Super Taranta!(SideOneDummy records). If we are led to believe what we see in the video, it turns out the band's frontman Eugene Hutz is commonly bouncing around from the far reaches of the Eurasia through Europe to the shores of North America, making people dance sing and be jubilant but without the help of Bud Light or Dope and just Gypsy Punk energy Check it out: ...

Madonna has called up Gogol Bordello frontman Eugene Hutz to perform with her this weekend at the London leg of Live Earth, according to Yahoo news.

The invitation from Madonna is appearntly linked to an unrelated project Hutz is working on with the pop star. Details on the project are sketchy and are little more than rumors at this poi... MORE
