Gogol Bordello played a special show in New York City last night at Irving Plaza, err I mean The Fillmore AT Irving Plaza. They haven’t played Irving Plaza for a few years it seems; lately they have been playing Webster Hall. The reason why the show was special because it was a Haiti benefit show, with proceeds going to support the aid down there. If you’ve ever been to a Gogol Bordello show, you know they never call in a performance. They give it their all every time and it’s just a blast to witness! That certainly was the case with this benefit show!

Gogol Bordello have a new album coming out in the spring called “Transcontinental Hustle” and have also announced initial tour dates in the USA as well as Europe. What’s even cooler is DeVotchKa is playing with them on the US dates! I’m not sure if DeVotchKa is playing with them on their US Tibet Benefit Show at Carnegie Hall on February 26th, or any NYC dates but they are for other US dates. I might have to attend one of those shows! Can’t wait to hear the new album as well. Tickets go on sale Friday and Saturday but a pre-sale is happening right now if you sign up for the band’s website. Read on for more info from Eugene Hutz and the band:
