Gogol Bordello

Since 1999, Eastern European punk band Gogol Bordello, led by Ukrainian frontman Eugene Hütz, has been filling up rooms with an energy that could run a whole city - latest album Solidaritine is no exception, going back to their hardcore roots. The band has lit up stages around the world alongside System of a Down, Primus, Rancid, Dropkick Murphys, dueted with Regina Spektor, appeared in films like Liev Schreiber’s Everything Is Illuminated with Elijah Wood and Filth and Wisdom helmed by Madonna, cutting albums with legends Rick Rubin and Steve Albini. Russia's war in Ukraine is personal for Eugene & the band, who have been tirelessly advocating for Ukrainian solidarity, partnering with Nova Ukraine, ArtDopomoga and beyond.

New self-proclaimed “post-punk renai-dance” group, Puzzled Panther is led by the synergetic songwriting duo of Victoria Espinoza and Kay BonTempo, which also features Brian Chase of YYYeahs on drums and Eugene Hutz on guitar. The band has been described as “New York’s buzziest band that artfully mixes essential NY influences such as Sonic Youth and Jon Spencer Blues Explosion with psychedelic indie dance a la Madchester”. Puzzled Panther is rapidly making a name for itself as a tireless touring entity with their electrifying performances across the USA and Europe.
