Gogol Bordello might seem like a singularly difficult band to copy. Fortunately, fellow New York act Golem has its own take on so-called gypsy punk that’s far more true to its roots. Awash in accordion, violin, trombone, and Eastern-European mystique, the sextet knows its way around klezmer riffs and Pogues-style raucousness. Golem’s cracklingly energetic debut Fresh Off The Boat, released last year, boasts guest spots from Amanda Palmer of Dresden Dolls, Mike Gordon of Phish, and the legendary punk pioneer Lenny Kaye. Austin’s Kanko opens with its bilingual blasts of border radio cumbia and Latin-tinged punk rock.
To win tickets to this show, email austinpromo@theonion.com with ‘Golem’ in your subject line.
