Though based more or less in New York, renowned Balkan boppers Gogol Bordello hail from all over the damn world. So it should come as no surprise that soon enough the group’s many members will leave behind whatever ramshackle roadside encampment or open-air bungalow they call home and hit the road. Following what is sure to be a raucous benefit for Tibet at Carnegie Hall, the band is heading down under for a handful of dates, only to come back to North America for more carnage. By the time they head to Europe in May, Gogol Bordello will have hopefully released their fifth studio album, Transcontinental Hustle. The Rick Rubin-produced record (!) doesn’t have an official drop date yet, but the All Powerful Press Release assures me that it should come out sometime in the spring.
