They do seem fun. They remind me of Gogol Bordello

My abiding memory of watching Gogol Bordello is the frontman swinging a bottle of wine around and just spraying it all over the stage and the front of the crowd. Lots of fun.

I remember the first time I saw Gogol, it was just before/after Gypsy Punks was released and they were slowly making a name but I had never heard of them before. It was at a fest where Peaches was playing after them so I'd figure I have a few drinks there and wait for her as I was feeling lazy to move around stages. It was one of the best decisions I ever made as they fucking below me away without knowing any of their songs. Eugene was running around with a bottle of wine, he seemed to be singing and talking in a single breath the entire time, I downed my pint so I could get into the amazing crowd which had so much energy for them and they ended the set with throwing their drum kit into the crowd so one of the girls in the band could jump on it whilst the drum kit crowd surfed.

Reports from the Fugees first reunion gig 

https://www.stereogum.com/2161636/last-nights-fugees-reunion-started-three-hours-late-and-phones-werent-allowed/news/ 

Doors opened at 6, they got on at 10 (lol) and it lasted 45 mins

It was free so nobody lost anything but some of their soul. Performance is apparently going to be streamed so it will be nice to see no phones in the video.

    • Me too.  Reckon they must have more this year.   Not bad is it - ended up paying same price as this year.  It still represents great value for me.  Well, until I check my bank account the Monday after the weekend.
    • Well mayors have more powers to do that sh*t...but they have to make the numbers add up.
    • We'll see. Bristol and Leeds are both massively overdue big public transport investment - 2 of the cities with the worst transport infrastructure per capita in Western Europe. If this works to help support investment projects great and fair play to Burnham.
    • The Bródy Day was his idea because Sziget has always been late when it comes to this kind of concert. They would only organize farewell performances or tribute shows after an artist had passed away. Since Bródy is one of the country's greatest singer-songwriters, they wanted to honor him while he is still alive. (He didn't say it exactly like that, but the man is 80 and has just stopped playing large concerts.) He never understood why anyone would focus exclusively on one generation, especially Gen Z, who have less disposable income, drink less, and are, in his words, "afraid of partying." He explained that in the past, people loved festivals because of the nonstop partying, whereas many younger people today find that experience overwhelming or exhausting. That's one of the reasons why Sziget will introduce more chill zones and sensory-friendly spaces. They also want to attract older generations, who are generally more willing and able to spend money. The Sziget Icons days are aimed at this audience, and in the future they hope to create a more balanced lineup that appeals to people over 35 as well.   It was a long interview. If anything else comes to mind, I'll share it.
