They also performed with Les Claypool and Kirk Hammett in SuperJam of Bonnaroo 2008 where the songs of Tom Waits were performed.

Just found out this happened...I hate California now more than ever.

A friend of mine recommended me DeVotchKa last night after I told him about Gogol Bordello's new album. Listening to their cover of "Venus in Furs" has definitely intrigued my interest.

Just saw Gogol Bordello AND DeVotchKa last Wednesday. It was epic. Though DeVotchKa didn't show up near their booth to sign autographs after their set. Gogol was awesome, the whole first tier of the venue was a giant mosh pit and both bands sounded great.

This is a thread with expired videos, but I thought I'd revive it since I bought tickets for their show in Toronto in August. Check this out. We come in rubber every time

Besides, Євген Гуц (Eugene Hütz) is my fellow emigre Ukrainian. Come on, even Madonna liked him LOL.

I first heard Gogol Bordello on the soundtrack of the wonderfully dark indie movie: Wristcutters: A Love Story (2006). The romantic couple in the movie is Shannyn Sossaman and Patrick Fugit (best known as the actor who played the William Miller, 15 year old Rolling Stone journalist in Almost Famous).

Shannyn and Patrick's characters commit suicide at the beginning of the movie and end up in a purgatory where all suicide victims go after dying. They met and become romantically involved in the desolate netherland of formerly alive suicide victims. In the scene Shannyn is trying to be restored to life because she committed suicide by mistake. Patrick's character is searching for his missing girlfriend who died in a suicide pact with him.

The director originally wanted to cast Eugene Hütz as the driver who, by no coincidence, is named Eugene. Unfortunately Eugene Hütz wasn't available to work in the film. Even so, Shea Whigham the actor who plays Eugene the driver looks, dresses and talks a lot like the real life Eugene Hütz .

The Gogol Bordello song, Through the Roof and Underground was such a perfect song for the soundtrack it made me a fan of the band. Tom Waits has a hilariously funny role in the movie too.

Here's how the song appeared in the movie:

I love Wristcutters: A Love Story and I think Shea Whiggam did a pretty good impersonation of Eugene Hutz. It would have been nice to see him play the part after his turn in Everything Is Illuminated. Anyways in case anybody missed it in my Albums of 2013 thread, Gogol Bordello have a new album out on July 23 called Pura Vida Conspiracy.
