I'm a little surprised to see them in the spotlight, but I'm glad! Greatest band of all time, second only to David Bowie.

Here's a few more tracks from their best album(imo) Just The Best Party:

Well, that may be so, but can Gogol Bordello put on a better show than W/IFS?

"Their annual Halloween (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halloween) show, Hallowmas (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hallowmas), is traditionally the most important performance of the year. This event is known for its elaborate planning and grand-scale surprises. Past Hallowmases have included a burning effigy of Mr. Terricloth constructed and set alight by a large, caustic cat; an ethereal string quartet performing throughout the evening in the back of the hall (see: Anti-Social Music (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-Social_Music)); circus performances and fire breathing by the Odd Child Uprising (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Odd_Child_Uprising&action=edit&redlink=1) circus troupe; a cadaverous marching band materializing on stage for the last (and hallmark) song of the evening, Pumpkin Time (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pumpkin_Time&action=edit&redlink=1); and spontaneous rallies to the street (audience in tow) during this song, which references The Great Pumpkin (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Great_Pumpkin) of Peanuts (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peanuts) fame. This song is performed by the band exclusively during Hallowmas shows."

Enough said!
