Gogol Bordello, the Gypsy-punk band responsible for the song "Start Wearing Purple", which I consider my own personal Vikings theme song, is going to be performing at First Avenue in downtown Minneapolis on November 1st. The first time I saw this video (someone posted it here a year or two ago) I thought it was great. Here is a link to the Quicktime video if you have not seen it, or need to get this catchy tune back into your brain. :)

If you like crazy punk/folk music check them out. Gypsy Punk is the perfect description of them.

thanks for the song! liked it a lot. klezmir punk I guess. Definitely cool in relation with the Vikings.

If you like klezmir stuff, you should check out a band called Estradasphere out of Santa Cruz, CA. They play seriously everything under the sun, from doo-wop to deathmetal, but they have quite a few klezmir songs. This one klezmir/death metal song called "Ballad of Tosho and Slavi" that I'm thinking of in particular. It's pretty awesome.
