Last night at Irving Plaza was absolutely delicious !! From the beginning strains of the opener, " Illumination " , to the medley of " Baro Foro " and just about anything the Prince of Hutzagovina could think of , and everything in between, the show was beyond belief . I walked out with the kind of lung burn / muscle ache/ voice shred that used to be reserved for The Who (w/ Keith Moon) , The Ramones, and The Clash.
GB's website offering free MP3 download of Lela Pala Tute .I believe all that's necessary is sign up for GB's free net newsletter. Also, their " Non Stop " and " Tales from Axis Mundi " dvds are incredible. GB and Manu Chao playing together, with Roy Paci on trumpet, on the former and Baro Foro on the latter are alone worth the price.
I'm in for several of the shows that follow M-StP ; Boston on 4/28 , Baltimore on 4/29 and 4/30, and Philly on 5/1 !! Over the moon already. I had better stock up the Ben-Gay , potassium, and tea and honey. Time for muscle ache and voice shred.
Checking the Hangman style puzzle being used to identify the line-up for Lollapalooza prior to the April 6 announcement , it appears that there is a good chance that Gogol Bordello will be on the bill for the Aug 6 to Aug 8 festival (See row four , third from left) . The puzzle is on Lollapalooza.com .
Speaking of Lollapalooza, and for those wanting some more of a Gogol vibe, Balkan Beat Box (Ori Kaplan , Tamir Muskat , and Co.) will also be playing at some point over the three days.
Big fan. I've seen them half a dozen times or more. Their live shows never get old. Now if they'd just get back to touring the South, I'd see them some more.
