Stuck in Vermont 49: Gogol Bordello

10/12/07: Gogol Bordello may be the biggest music act to hit Montpelier Vermont in .... well, ever!?

Ed DuFresne of Edifided Presents managed to lure the popular band to Vermont's state capitol with a grassroots campaign.

The volunteer-run show was sold out and the sweaty crowd never stopped moving. Vermont College's gymnasium has never seen so much action and they raised the basketball hoops for the occasion.

Gogol Bordello's charismatic frontman Eugene Hutz, relocated to Burlington Vermont from the Ukraine in his teens. After playing in local punk bands, he moved to NYC and pioneered the Gypsy punk movement.

A diverse crowd turned out to see Eugene's triumphant homecoming and to enjoy the theatrics of his Eastern European punk extravaganza. Gogol Bordello is kicking off an international 3-month tour.

Montpelier may never be the same.

I almost went to school at York but choose Norwich instead. What was I thinking? ;)

If thats you.

I could not agree more.

Well said man!

Yes! Why am I compelled to mention Cardiff in every comment I make? Hmm. Though to be honest, York is a nicer city. York is LOVELY. Pick York. :)

[StuckinVermont]

Thanks Pete!  Vermont and Cardiff can be sister cities!

[Rebecca White]

Luv it! Their performances are great!

Hurrah for you, looked like a top gig - and despite the frequency of good gigs here in Cardiff, Wales, I wish I'd been to that one! I watch Stuck In Vermont every week, despite not living in Vermont - or indeed America. Hope you get some more top bands playing there soon! And thanks again Eva!
