New Yorks Eastern European-inspired punk-rock-cabaret group Gogol Bordello will unleash their singular brand of contrarian globalism at Tequila Lounge on Wednesday, September 25.

The sound of Gogol Bordello is a combination of reckless fervor, foot-stomping rhythms, outlandish lyrics and a circus of surreal stimuli that leaves progressive minded music fans spinning in the their wake. Drawing upon Gypsy, Slavic and punk-rock traditions, Gogol Bordello is the genesis of a new aesthetic that bridges the gap between Eastern European and Gypsy influence with Western culture.

This new direction in music is singer/lyricist/visionary Eugene Hutzs passion, who uses the term Ukrainian Gypsy Punk Cabaret to describe their sound. Already critically heralded by The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, New York Magazine, Paper Magazine, Time Out New York and others, Gogol Bordello is gearing up to release their new album Multi Kontra Culti vs Irony on September 17.

The title of the new album sums up the spirit of the band and the people around it. Gogol Bordello is about creating new musical possibilities. We all come from a very distinct tradition of music that is largely driven by Eastern European sounds, visions and colors as well as punk rock and street culture. Were a multicultural unit with an underdog energy and a sense of humor, although a pretty twisted one, says frontman Eugene Hutz.

Led by the Ukrainian singer/lyricist Eugene Hutz, Gogol Bordello features musicians Sergey Ryabtsev (violin), Oren Kaplan (guitar), Yuri Lemeshev (accordion), Ori Kaplan (sax), Eliot Ferguson (drums) as well as Susan Donaldson and Pam Racine (The Gogol Dance Troop).

Gogol Bordellos live show is rich with black-humored tales. Hutz writhes Iggy Pop-style over lilting rhythms and the lyrics often spin macabre tales of the immigrant experience involving Ukrainian folklore or bizarre erotic dreamscapes that can be as absurd as anecdotes about a gang of supernatural immigrant vampires or a backyard BBQ with Stalin.

Often an entire evenings concert will be based loosely on telling one overall story through many songs. Combining elements of traditional Ukrainian sounds with storytelling, elaborate props, and complex stage sets, Gogol Bordello relays aspects of many recent diasporic realities and creates for us all a uniquely infectious spectacle that offers up nothing short of a new, free-for-all theater of anarchy.
