Gogol Bordello

Holy fuck! Just got back from their concert tonight. Wowzers, that was a FUN show! They played nearly 2.5 hours (with an encore that was over 10 songs or something... it was pretty long).

I normally shy away from the moshpitting stuff but I couldn't help but be drawn in.

If you haven't heard of these guys, they're "gypsy punks" (i.e. Ukrainian immigrants in NYC who meld punk rock with traditional Ukrainian music) and they're damn unconventional, but damn infectious!

I would normally agree with you on this, but tonight was far from the case!

Have you seen Everything Is Illuminated? That Eugene guy is in it and GB apparently performs in it as well. I've not seen it yet myself, or else I would tell you more.

Nope, but Elijah Wood is in it, right? I hear Eugene is actually a good actor...

[Medellia]

Yep, Frodo is in it. I heard that about Eugene too.

Eugene, as in Onegin?

I've been meaning to read that book.

I like the literary reference.

The name alone is A+ is my book.

I'm seeing these guys on the 14th.
I really can't wait.

I was supposed to see them back in August, but I think they dropped out of the show at the last minute.
