Gypsy Punks Gogol Bordello Turn Rage Into Joy

Soundcheck | Aug 21, 2017

New York’s own gypsy punks Gogol Bordello have roots in Eastern European folk and Brecht-ian cabaret, along with punk and dub. With a band that usually includes accordion, fiddle, horns, percussion, jangly and electric guitars, Gogol frontman Eugene Hutz leads the turbo-charged “avalanche of rage-turned-joy,” whipping up frenzied crowds all over the world in every savage live performance. Their latest record, Seekers & Finders is coming for us all in August, and even features Regina Spektor as a guest. It brings some of the band and their playful magical riot to the studio.
