Gogol Bordello

Great band that's been around for a while but I'm just getting to know (thanks to my indie music guru Justinioo). Awsome energy - I'm told they're amazing in concert. I like to think of this band as being a little similar to Flogging Molly in that they take a traditional sound and mix it with punk/rock/whatever...only think Eastern Europe and increase the proportion of zaniness... Their music's pure fun - it's been described as: "a bit like The Clash and The Pogues having a fight... in Eastern Europe."

WARNING: if you are a serious, melancholy or stuffy person, don't listen to this stuff. It will be bad for you. You'll hate it. If you don't consider yourself serious, melancholy or stuffy and you still hate this music, you probably just don't have fun taste and you should take the day off and go miniature golfing. Or better yet, watch Hudson Hawk over and over until you think it's funny. Booze will probably help.














And something more traditional:




Makes me want to go to a Zsa Zsas concert.
