Serbian and Klezmer Brass, Knitting Factory, Sept. 23
We are all looking forward to the Gogol Bordello concert at the Knitting Factory on Sept. 22 (and 21, for that matter, I notice, which might be the better night to see them, Ildi et al, as that's the Saturday).
But here's a scoop: the very next night, Sept. 23, the Knitting Factory has another amazing line-up they're calling "Brotherhood of the Brass." It's a double bill with the Boban Markovic Orkestar, a Serbian Gypsy band hugely popular in Hungary (and familiar to anyone who's seen Emir Kusturica's films "Arizona Dream" or the outstanding "Underground" and "Black Cat, White Cat") and Frank London's Klezmer Brass (of Klezmatics/Hasidic New Wave fame). It will be a Monday night to remember.
Now all we need is to get Kultur Shock out to NY, Seattle's answer to Gogol Bordello (I've been meaning to rave about their newish album "FUCC THE I.N.S." here for a while now but haven't gotten around to it yet).
