Saturday Matinee – Gogol Bordello, S.M.N. & GJS

“It’s one of the very few songs I wrote for a girl. I just moved in with my girlfriend in New York. We had a neighbour: an old woman who was always dressed in purple head to toe. She was clearly bonkers. So whenever my girlfriend and I had an argument and she would start screaming at me, I would say: you might as well start wearing purple now”. – Eugene Hütz

Gogol Bordello, fronted by Ukranian-born Eugene Hütz, is a multinational American punk band from Manhattan, known for gypsy/romani/punk theater.  More about them here.

Formed in 2001 in Fukuoka, Japan,  S.M.N. (Slackers Make Noise) consists of high school classmates Hiroaki Yokoyama / guitar, Mah-bou / drums, Kosuke Nishimura / bass.

Here’s something to cool your eardrums. Gentry-Jones is Nil Jones and Tony Gentry, here with Mr. Sam (Sam Fallie) in 2014. Old soul line dancing at its smoothest. More on GJS here.

Whoop, look what time it is. Gotta go, got an appointment with the porch tomorrow. See you there.
