All you West Philly punkers take note... *** Earlier this year, Gogol Bordello, NYC's renegade band of gypsy madpeople peeled the paint off the walls at 15th & South's Tritone, where nearly 250 crazed fans crammed into the sweaty, sold-out space for a performance by this "gang of Ukrainian/Russian ethno-punk terrorists", as described by Billboard magazine. About 100 people were turned away at the door.
For their triumphant return to Philadelphia, in support of the new album, "Gogol Bordello vs. Tamir Muskat" (which has been getting dripping wet reviews), we had to search high and low for a venue that could withstand the mania, decibels, and frenetic oom-pahcity of one Ukrainian singer, a Russian violinist, an Israeli guitarist, a Russian accordianist, an Israeli saxophonist, a Floridian drummer, and two lovely dancing girls of indeterminate origin. So join the mustachioed frontman Eugene Hutz and his band of bizarre proportions and pedigree for a one-night-only engagement at South Street's Theater of Living Arts, marking the end of Gogol Bordello's US tour. Also appearing is Philadelphia's own Kandy Whales, whose sound was characterized by the Philadelphia Weekly as "menacing techno anthems" and "glitzy gothy cha-chas about 'wet polyester'", and that was before they added the horn section. This show sold out last time around, so buy you're tickets in advance (you'll also save some ruble).
