for sure - i think it'll be a great show.
are you coming out to black cat on saturday night, kosmo? would love to have you.

I'm going. The album is kind of one dimensional, but that one dimension is a killer. I'm betting it'll be a great live show.

I find them so much more infectious live; present!
-
live foruming is it a first and or just lame...
Glad I got here early as its not everyday that one gets to see a ska reggae band with a touch of metal from bogata columbia play. Skampida played the roll of warmup perfectly interesting enough to keep my attention and get the juices flowing...
Next up vox and some cookies...
DJ is spinning an Interesting mix of punk hot jazz
-
Cookies were as always yummy!
not much to say about vox... Other than they have a violin player, are from providence rhode island, and have several t-shirts for sale... At this point they are delaying the arrival of why we are all here.. Especially when they lauched into their butchering of a pixies song
Spotted in the crowd is q fellow with a hairdo that would make morrissey proud.
-
minutes away from gogol and I would have rather listened to the dj instead of vox...
did anyone see the person wearing the green cheerleader outfit?
-
as expected the chaos peeking through on their records comes out full force live. show started out with lots of energy and fun... however for me the middle section got tedious as the putzed around with several slow songs. as the band began to pickup steam again towards the end, my ran out...
for those who complain that dc audiences are lame, that certainly wasn't the case tonight. as the front half of the flooring was sea of moving people totally into the band.

Hands down the most energetic show I've ever been to at the 9:30 Club. I agree with Kosmo that there was a bit of a lull towards the middle...but what else do you expect from a 2+ hour set? I'm amazed that Gogol Bordello can perform like that every night. And easily one of the best crowds in DC that I've ever been a part of - a blast of a show.

Skampida was great. Did anybody else see the kid up front with the Colombian flag who was rocking out with them through their entire set?
Man I love seeing that kind of stuff.

there were a couple of groups of people really into them up front, one passed up a scarf the guitar wore for while.

I definitely agree with both you guys. The crowd was amazing. You could tell it was gonna be a good time just looking around at how excited people were before gogol even came on. More people were dancing to the dj songs than usually dance when the headliner is playing. And Gogol didn't disappoint. The mosh pits were awesome, too. It was a mix between people running and pushing, and people standing in the middle of the circle trying to do some sort of eastern european dance with other people trying to follow along. Either way was really fun. And, the slow songs did bring the show down a little bit, but I think most people were getting a little tired anyway.
-
I was right up front, and spent most of the show with some guy's dick halfway up my ... yeah. Great show anyway; the energy was amazing! I've been to some fairly crazy shows before, but this one topped 'em all. Gogol is great, and you could tell everyone was into it.
I always love watching security throw people off stage ...

not one person was "thrown off stage" last night. several jumped, a few climbed down on their own, and the rest were escorted to the stairs upstage and sent back into the crowd.
-
Hey, now, that black guy in the striped shirt totally got thrown off once.
Okay, so it was only once. Shh.
-
Anybody have any pics from the show?
My camera is broken and I can't get the pix from it to my PC. Anybody who has any PLEASE let me know.
Thanks!
