Gogol Bordello sings the theme song for Orlando!

Start wearing purple, wearing purple!”

We are. This song has turned to a healing sense of nostalgia.

The last time I saw Gogol Bordello at The Beacham was very heavy. My home was shot in the heart and we didn’t even know it was just the beginning of a deep longing pain.

Tonight, was the exhale we’ve all patiently waited for.

Gogol Bordello played to a nearly sold-out room of purple-loving Orlando smiles. This is one of the most entertaining live bands on the circuit today. I watched them play one of their two sold-out nights to 3,000 NYC fans at Terminal 5 a few years ago. Gogol Bordello are truly magical.

Their lead singer, Eugene Hütz, has the perfect persona to rule a stage. They even based a character in one of my favorite movies on him, Wristcutters: A Love Story. I’ve never met a Eugene I didn’t like, see Snowden.
