Gogol Bordello came howling out of Manhattan's Lower East Side in 1999, a gang of musicians gathered from every corner of the map, and they play gypsy punk like a wedding band that has just kicked down the door of a squat party. Romani and Ukrainian folk collide with punk thrash and dub echo, accordion and violin sawing away up front, a saxophone joining the melee on some records, and Eugene Hütz presiding over it all with a showman's grin and a ringmaster's lungs.
Their stage shows are pure theater, and they tour like the road is the only home they trust. The 2007 album Super Taranta! gave rock radio "Wonderlust King", a stomping, whirling anthem, and Pura Vida Conspiracy followed in 2013 with "Lost Innocent World"; "Immigrandiada (We Comin'...)" wears its immigrant swagger right there in the title.
Hollywood came calling too: Hütz co-starred with Elijah Wood in Everything Is Illuminated in 2005, the band turned up on screen as a brass band, and their "Start Wearing Purple" made it into the film's score. They got their own documentary, Gogol Bordello Non-Stop, in 2008, and cut "Let's Get Crazy" for Coca-Cola's Euro 2012 campaign.
