Gogol Bordello

anyone here ever heard, seen, or meet Gogol Bordello?
if you dont know who Gogol Bordello is, they are a band.
They define themselves as Gypsy Punk. ATM they are my favorite band b/c of how different they are...kinda like System of a Down back in the day.
just youtube them and you'll get their hit singles "start wearing purple" "Not a Crime" and "Wonderlust King"
all good songs but there will always be better ones on the cd

My friend Maurice went nuts for them about six or eight months ago, and I just chalked it up to his being a weird Italian, but it looks like he might (again) have been on the cutting edge.

Heh, kind of a odd story, but the only reason I know about Gogol Bordello at all was because someone was mic spamming "Start Wearing Purple" on TC-Hydro one day. (This was on a non-eGO server I used to frequent.) Anyways, I found it incredibly annoying at the time (I think on many servers, doing that results in an instant perma-ban), but the song got stuck in my head and started to growing on me. I Wikied them and found them to be a pretty interesting group.

I watched their "Start Wearing Purple" vid on youtube, and I just felt like I was being serenaded by Borat the whole time. B) Sorry guys, not my kind of music.

Edit: On a happier note, 100th post!! Woo!!!

I have been listening to these guys for some time now, my favorite song of thiers is undestructable but I still like Modest Mouse more than Gogol Bordello, but I reccomend the latter as good heavy music
