Gogol Bordello — Live From Axis Mundi

Near the end of Gogol Bordello's live set on the DVD portion of the Live From Axis Mundi CD/DVD package, frontman Eugene Hutz scales the stage, climbs into the balcony at New York City's Irving Plaza and proceeds to heartily smooch several women a few times while covering them with his sweat. This, after Hutz (who may or may not be wearing...

Gogol Bordello Are Great And All, But...

Every once in a while, you get in to a show that not only defies expectations, it turns into one of those where you tell everyone about it, knowing that your friends are both spitefully jealous and reluctantly in awe. For some, it's Arcade Fire's "flashlight" show at a tiny basement during Canadian Music Week in 2005. For others, it's...

Gogol Bordello — Super Taranta!

Gogol Bordello's fourth release, Gypsy Punks: Underdog World Strike, was the biggest grower of a record I've ever listened to. At first it barely registered, despite its ultra-intense live sound and Eugene Hutz's ridiculously European growl. Then the melodies began trickling into my subconscious, then choruses like "Start wearing purple for...

Gogol Bordello — Multi Kontra Culti Vs. Irony

Crazy. Manic. Sophomoric. Incoherent. Dislexic. Each of these words could describe this group of twisted men who are known collectively as Gogol Bordello. The band and the musical schtick smacks of being conceived in a university dorm. Everything here is based on inside jokes, whether it's the band name, the album title or song titles like...

Gogol Bordello examine what life is like for immigrants in contemporary North America, and it's not much different from what it was a hundred years ago: Hard jobs, "starting from zero," and confronting xenophobia.

Video Of The Day: Gogol Bordello's "Pala Tute"

Only Gogol Bordello could make a music video that's a mixture of live action, King Kong, oscilloscope pictures and claymation, featuring its members wandering aimlessly in some kind of futuristic caravan thing that looks more like it belongs in a dream that's a weird mix of A Clockwork Orange (minus the ultraviolence) and Twenty Thousand...

Gogol Bordello Connect The Human Tribe At Sound Academy

You had to wonder why Jesse Malin was on Tuesday night's bill. The New York rocker mixes alt.country with punk and comes across as Ryan Adams (in fact, he's worked with Adams in The Finger and Adams produced his debut album) with more posture, more lip and less crazy. So he seemed quite out of place with gypsy/cabaret act DeVotchKa and Gogol...
