Gogol Bordello Orlando Preview 2016

TICKET GIVEAWAY: Gogol Bordello | The Beacham, Orlando, FL | THIS Saturday, June 11, 2016

by • June 7, 2016

Gypsy punk rockers Gogol Bordello aren’t your ordinary band. Imagine polka cabaret music on punk rock and dub rock steroids being mainlined to a crowd full of people jumping and dancing free-spiritedly in a constant unison (if you’re on the floor, you’re moving whether you like it or not). They play to provoke every person that they make contact with — whether it be on an album or at a live show. Singer/guitarist Eugene Hutz knows how to work the crowd and lead the band, playing his multiple acoustic guitars while other members of the band add accordion and violin to create that magical gypsy sound all while conducting a theatrical stage show. Hutz founded the band in New York City in 1999 after leaving Ukraine in the aftermath of Chernobyl. “Gogol” comes from Nikolai Gogol, a classical Russian Ukrainian writer who served as an ideological influence for the band. He was a troubadour who “smuggled” Ukrainian culture into Russian society. “Bordello” in Italian refers to a brothel or a “gentleman’s club.”

Gogol Bordello is currently on the road with Frank Turner & The Sleeping Souls. Opening the show on the tour is Walter Schreifels (Gorilla Biscuits, Youth of Today, Rival Schools). Be sure to check them out when they play The Beacham in Orlando this Saturday, June 11th (WIN TICKETS BELOW). This is gonna be a night to remember for sure.

Gogol Bordello Orlando Preview 2016

I first found about Gogol Bordello at Bonnaroo 2008. It was the Superjam hosted by Les Claypool (of Primus) and was to include mystery special guests. After over an hour of storm delays, the Superjam finally started after 2:00 a.m. Les comes out on stage with a bunch of old European guys and I was dumbfounded. Who were these dudes? The Superjam set featured Les and Gogol covering nothing but Tom Waits songs in their own unique way. The next day, I saw my first Gogol Bordello set in the hot afternoon sun and was completely blown away. I’ve seen them one time since, which was a year later at Club Firestone in Orlando. Needless to say, I’m super stoked to see them again.
