The gypsy punk band Gogol Bordello, whose live shows have Entertainment
Weekly dubbing them "the world's most perfect festival band," will
headline an international mini-festival of their own, the Casa Gogol
Tour, an evening's worth of insurgence from the multi kulti revolution,
launching April 18 in Montreal (please see Casa Gogol Tour itinerary
following).
The North American leg of the Casa Gogol Tour
follows Gogol Bordello's appearance at the 2010 Tibet House Benefit
Concert in New York and the band's major tour of Australia in late
March and April.
All dates on the Casa Gogol Tour will feature
a full-on Gogol Bordello headline concert as well as sets by bands and
DJs in simpatico with the GB mission. North American dates on the Casa
Gogol Tour run from April 18 through May 1 and will include sets by
Slavic-punk-band DeVotchKa, East Village punk troubadour Jesse Malin
and St. Mark's Social, electro-anarchists Tres Leches Afterparty Sound
Crew and special surprise guest appearances.
Select dates on the
European leg of the Casa Gogol Tour will include sets by the
VMA-winning Brooklyn punk-dance duo Matt & Kim, Mariachi El Bronx
(the musical alter-ego of the hardcore punk band The Bronx) and Tres
Leches Afterparty Sound Crew.
Casa Gogol is crossing America,
and then the Atlantic, to celebrate the upcoming release of
'Transcontinental Hustle', the avidly-awaited fifth studio album from
Gogol Bordello. Produced by Rick Rubin, Transcontinental Hustle is
the first Gogol Bordello studio album since 2007's SUPER TARANTA!
inspired the rarest of accolades, an "A+" from Robert Christgau, the
Dean of American Rock Critics, who called them "the world's most
visionary band."
Gogol Bordello's radical invocations of
positive primal energy and planetary consciousness combine with a music
infused with ska, metal, punk, rap, dub and, more recently, intimations
of indigenous Brazilian sounds to produce a party maelstrom of
electrifying proportions.
Led by revolutionary change agent and
provocateur Eugene Hutz, Gogol Bordello, a nine-piece juggernaut of
gypsy rebel soul, has become an international force to be reckoned with.
And the party's just beginning. The doors of Casa Gogol are open!
