At first glance Gogol Bordello and Flogging Molly may not seem to have much in common; New York Natives Gogol Bordello blend a heady mix of Eastern European Gypsy Music, Cabaret and Indie Rock while Flogging Molly, based in L.A, write and perform rousing Celtic-tinged reels. But it's the DIY Punk Revival ethic present in both that unites them, that and the fact that their uptempo songs are designed for revelry. Now they join forces for a Summer tour of the US, coming to in , ,

Live shows for both bands are described as frenzied, high-energy affairs, so expect to move, sweat and shake! Gogol Bordello bandleader Eugene Hutz will see to it, as will the seven musicians that make up the rest of the band. Things won't let up when the Irish Punks take the stage, led by the equally charismatic Irish vocalist Dave King. Knees up everyone!
