I’ve just returned from one of the most outrageous shows I’ve seen, courtesy of the Gogol Bordello! Billed as a “gypsy punk” band, this is one of the most energetic and wild bands I’ve seen on stage. Imagine a troupe of Eastern Europeans from New York blasting out gypsy music infused with punk, dub, and rock. Now speed it up and get the sold-out crowd at the Commodore jumping along and you’ll have some idea of what that show was like.

This was definitely one of the best shows I’ve seen. I think they were even crazier than when I saw them last year.

Tomorrow I pack up and head to Vernon for the long weekend. It’ll be a great time to rest and chill out. I’m looking forward to taking a zillion more photos of the dog and getting out for some walks.

See you all next week!
