Gogol Bordello performed live on the main stage at the Sziget Festival on Obudai island in Budapest, Hungary, sunday, august 14, 2011.
Gogol Bordello is a Gypsy punk band from the Lower East Side of Manhattan, formed in 1999 and known for theatrical stage shows and persistent touring. Much of the band's sound is inspired by Gypsy music. The band incorporates minor-key accordion and violin (and on some albums, saxophone) mixed with punk and dub. There have been a lot of line-up changes in the band but the key members nowadays are Eugene Hütz (lead vocals, acoustic guitar, percussion) - Ukraine (founding member), Sergey Ryabtsev (violin, backing vocals) - Russia (since 2000), Yuri Lemeshev (accordion, backing vocals) - Russia (since 2001) and Oren Kaplan (guitar, backing vocals) - Israel (since 2000).
The song "Start wearing purple", a single of their album "Gypsy Punks: Underdog World Strike", released in 2006, but this version is actually a re-recording of the initial one which was featured in the band's first album, 1999's "Voi-La Intruder". It also appears in the soundtrack for the 2005 film Everything Is Illuminated, in which writer and frontman Eugene Hütz stars as Alex.
Hütz stated about the song: "It's one of the very few songs I wrote for a girl. I just moved in with my girlfriend in New York. We had a neighbour: an old woman who was always dressed in purple head to toe. She was clearly bonkers. So whenever my girlfriend and I had an argument and she would start screaming at me, I would say: you might as well start wearing purple now".
This is only a partial recording due to battery failure.
