Gogol Bordello

From Wikipedia:

Gogol Bordello is a multi-ethnic Gypsy punk band from the Lower East Side of New York City that formed in 1999 and is known for its theatrical stage shows. Much of the band's sound is inspired by Gypsy music, as its core members are immigrants from Eastern Europe.

The band incorporates minor-key accordion and fiddle (and on some albums, saxophone) mixed with cabaret, punk, and dub as well as multiple languages. Phill Jupitus has described the band as "a bit like The Clash and The Pogues having a fight... in Eastern Europe," while Kenneth Partridge of The Hartford Courant described lead singer Eugene Hütz's voice as "somewhere between that of Borat and Triumph the Insult Comic Dog."

And did I mention how much fun they are? Just look at the evidence... and there wasn't even much alcohol involved!



Although, truth be said, after the umptieth tall and swaying boy had walked into Lady V on the way to the bar/toilet/kindergarten, our Tot did wave a couple of tight fists into the air, swearing revenge in her next novel: "The massacre of the teen boys by the small lady with killer heels" (*soon to be published by Portobello Books).
