Formed on the Lower East Side in 1999, Gogol Bordello\u2019s boundary-breaking combination of punk-rock, cabaret and Romani musical traditions is truly unlike anything out there. Anchored by Ukranian frontman Eugene Hutz, members of the always-evolving collective hail from around the world. In a handwritten mission statement<\/a> on their website, Hutz writes: \u201cFrom where we stand, it is clear that world\u2019s cultures contain material for endless art-possibilities, and new mind-stretching combinations, raw joy and survival energy.\u201d This mission has led them to receive critical acclaim and fans across the world, with former Village Voice Chief Music Critic Robert Christgau calling them<\/a> \u201cThe world\u2019s most visionary band.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gogol Bordello are known for their dramatic performances, which they describe as a mix of \u201cmusic, theatre, chaos and sorcery.\u201d Although they have not released a new album since 2017s Seekers and Finders<\/em>, Gogol Bordello have remained a consistent touring act. The band averages 200+ shows a year, and has supported diverse bands from Flogging Molly to Cake. Their most recent single, an Adrian Sherwood remix of their song \u201cLifers,\u201d dropped back in April. Sherwood offers clean, electronic production, grounding the maniacal rawness that has become Gogol Bordello\u2019s hallmark.  They are currently recording the album\u2019s follow-up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
