One of the best live band Gogol Bordello will be stopping by First Avenue on Monday, October 30th. Since it’s so close to Halloween, expect some dressing up! Start wearing purple.

The renowned gypsy punk band just released Seekers & Finders (Cooking Vinyl).

We saw the band in 2015, and wrote, “Gogol Bordello is my favorite gypsy punk band out there (yes, there are many of them). Gypsy punk takes traditional Romani music and adds a little, you guessed it, punk. Gogol Bordello takes it a step further and adds a captivating live show. Last Saturday was my first time experiencing them live and I can already feel an obsession brewing in me. I never wanted last night to end. They played for two hours and it wasn't enough.”

Lucky Chops to open.

Note: the show is sold out.

KINS

Melbourne, Australia (by way of Brighton, UK) band Kins hits the Turf Club in Minneapolis tomorrow March 6th, for an intimate show in support of their debut self-titled release (on East City Records).

The quartet originally formed around a collection of home-demos by frontman Thomas Savage and just finished a short tour supporting fellow Melbourne act, Courtney Barnett. After re-locating to England, they gained a record contract and rhythm section to complete the band, and have been gathering buzz ever since.

An atmospheric, downtempo sound with “themes of confusion, guilt and nihilism”, this is clearly a band on the way up, and a chance to perhaps say, you saw them “when”.

Locals tiny deaths and The van Gobots round out the Minneapolis lineup.

03/08/14 Chicago, IL Hideout
