Gogol Bordello is headlining a sold-out show tonight at 9:30, and I don’t have tickets. I SHOULD have tickets, because I knew about this months ago, but I kept putting it off.
No matter; my point here is that they sold out a headlining show at a pretty big venue, which is a big step from the first time I saw them, opening for Flogging Molly in a small venue in Binghamton (still a pretty good gig, but they’re definitely moving up in the world). I do feel a little of the requisite “I loved them back before anyone knew them and now they’re popular and I think they suck,” but I’m happy that they’re doing well. I’ll catch them next time.

Aww man. Sold out already? I saw them about a year ago and loved them. They’ve got great energy.
I miss that Binghamton trip to see Flogging Molly, and Gogol Bordello. But you shouldn’t hate them for their success, they aren’t on MTV yet. Please, like you don’t like wearing purple, or think you’re undestructable.
