Gogol Bordello @ Coachella 2008, Indio, CA - pics
photos by Ryan Muir
Coachella holds many, many thousand. Well imagine Gogol Bordello's normally explosive energy amplified by hundreds. Stifling heat, a relatively meager Sunday turnout, daylight and what seemed like about 10 intrusive video cameras did not slow down Eugene Hutz and crew. He shook, shimmied, high-kicked, guzzled wine, shouted and belted while his fellow lithe female cheerleader/percussionists also demanded the audience's attention. And they got it. Couples danced, thick-necked dudes who had never heard of the band jumped and screamed at the tops of their lungs and every spectator that wasn't bouncing held up a digital camera to capture the moment.Tickets are still on sale for Gogol Bordello's upcoming show at McCarren Pool.They came, they saw, the conquered. Would we expect anything less? [Arizona Daily Star]
USELESS FACT: Gogol Bordello's song "Wonderlust King" 'was featured in the trailer for the Morgan Spurlock documentary Where in the World is Osama Bin Laden?'.

Only pictures with Eugene? With such a great band, you would think the "photographer" would capture more aspects of the band.
Coachella sounds like fun. Maybe someday I will go. Can't wait to see GB at the pool and Lollapalooza.
