If youre a festival organiser and you want Gogol Bordello, but they are too expensive, get this lot, they too have Eastern European flavouring, dancers, they have fiddles and odd instruments and theres loads of them and I bet they are a darned sight less expensive. Musically they sound similar but their voices are less punky/shouty. Bags of fun all the same! At one point on old bloke gets up and tells us about a Doctors quest for Everlasting Death and its quirky and off the wall, as is the fiddle stage leaping and underpinning it all is a brass section that sneaks in behind your knees to lift your feet. Despite all the instruments on stage its actually very musical and you dont see enough tubas on stage these days! Plus they have the old fella thats one up on Gogol!
