Countdown to Gogol Bordello (Again)

Yay! It’s time for another Countdown to Gogol Bordello!
Earlier this week I followed through with a verbal commitment to my brother and bought my ticket to Gogol Bordello! So on June 19th, I’ll be meeting my brother, my brother’s girlfriend and my brother-in-law‘s cousin’s ex-boyfriend for the Richmond, Virginia show at Toad’s Place (anyone else out there going??? Aaron? You know you want to!).
I’m psyched!
To share my excitement, here is a quick video I took with my camera at the 10/18/2008 show in Blacksburg, Virginia. Yeah, so what if the resolution and the sound aren’t that great? You get to see the energy of the band and how eclectic they are! In this video, you’ll see drums, an accordion, cymbals, a guitar, a violin and the lead singer playing a plastic bucket. Yup, a plastic bucket. How is that for diversity?
GOGOL BORDELLO!!!!
If you want better pictures of the band, once again I recommend Aaron Evan’s set from the October 16, 2007 show in Baltimore, Maryland.
As long as my brother doesn’t lose his shoe and his car keys like he did at the New York City show, I think a good time will be had by all!

I’m liking this music! They are like a more raucous blend of Balkan Beat Box and Red Elvises.
Whoa; I just looked on Wikipedia and it turns out one of the Balkan Beat Box members used to be in Gogol Bordello. Small world!

[…] Virginia isn’t exactly the first place that comes to mind. But last summer after the Gogol Bordello concert, I did spend a day exploring the town. I took the Canal Walk about 1.25 miles down to Belle Isle […]
