Gogol Bordello's Transcontinental Hustle

Tuesday night, a group of musicians with roots in Russia… the Ukraine… Israel… Ethiopia… Ecuador… the U.S. …and Scotland will storm the stage at the Time Warner Ampitheater, behind Tower City, and serve up a transcontinental stew of what’s been called “Gypsy Punk” music. Passion may be the best way to describe Gogol Bordello --- be it a fists-in-the-air passionate condemnation of an oppressive…boring… mainstream culture, or simply passion for a woman …as in this song which leads off the group’s new CD, Trans-Continental Hustle
