Today, international punk band Gogol Bordello announces their West Coast Tour this May, kicking off in San Diego on May 18 hitting Bottlerock Festival and Punk Rock Bowling andamp; Music Festival on the way. Tickets are on sale this Friday, March 1.
Since the band’s genesis in the Lower East Side punk-rock scene of 1999, Gogol Bordello has been riling up audiences with an inimitable patchwork of raucous punk and Eastern European Gypsy-swing. Latest album Solidaritine takes them back to hardcore roots with a renewed sense of urgency, as Hütz explains: “Solidaritine is the substance that unlocks our empathy and our full human potential…May this be your punky uplift for our packed with troubled times.”

Scream of My Blood’ remains essential.” (Variety). The film has also been shown at the Warsaw Film Festival (Audience Award for Documentary Feature), Centre Film Festival (Audience Award), SXSW Sydney, In-Edit International Music Documentary Film Festival and more as it continues the festival circuit - including screenings in Burlington, Vermont where Eugene’s story in the United States began.
