Gogol Bordello brought their gypsy punk energy to BottleRock and catch them out on tour!

June 3, 2016

Gogol Bordello blew us away at this year’s BottleRock Napa Festival. They delivered a high energy set to the crowd with their free spirited gypsy punk music. The band brilliantly fuses together a multitude of influences and cultures into one of the most vibrant and eclectic sounds of today. It is like a blend of pirate rock and gypsy punk with a modern flair. Check out some photos of their set by our Rockin Ryan:

“I’ve come full circle and I’m comfortable being a total outsider,” says Gogol Bordello’s Eugene Hutz, explaining the philosophy behind the band’s new album, Pura Vida Conspiracy. Like everything they’ve ever done, this outing is an uncategorizable blend of international influences, anchored by the gypsy rhythms Hutz grew up with in Ukraine. “Most people are looking for a box to put stuff in,” he says. “I try to avoid it. The message of this record is the quest for self-knowledge beyond borders and nationalities. Every culture is a useful mask, but it is just a mask. To get to know your actual human self, you have to get behind all the masks. With all the time I’ve spent in Latin America, living and loving, I realized I’ll never be Argentinean or Brazilian, just like I’ll never be Ukrainian. If you have true human spirit, you can’t fit into any genre, nationality or culture. To be a true citizen of the world, you can only be an ultimate outsider.”
