This year’s shows will be at Brooklyn Bowl New York & Philadelphia from December 27-31, celebrating NYC vibes by bringing together New York legends like JON SPENCER, and new names that are inspired by that same frequency. Led by Ukrainian frontman Eugene Hütz, this year’s shows are an extension of his new imprint Casa Gogol Records, with an ear to the ground and always deeply rooted in the New York scene. The run will toast to the unbreakable spirit of punk, rock and hardcore withJON SPENCER, Puzzled Panther (Casa Gogol Records), cumgirl8, Crazy & The Brains, Incendiary Device, Values Here, Grace Bergere (Casa Gogol Records) and Mary Shelley.This 5 show residency will mark 16 years of Gogol Bordello’s New Year’s Eve celebrations.
On New Year’s Eve punk girl duo Puzzled Panther - joined by Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ Brian Chase and Eugene Hütz - will take the Brooklyn Bowl stage, celebrating their new single “Smoke and the Mirrors We Broke” produced by post-punk legend Nick Launay (Nick Cave, Amyl and the Sniffers, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Idles). Their debut EP is set to release on Casa Gogol Records in early 2024, also produced by Launay.

“Youth culture is always producing new brilliant music, and you just pray that you are there when it happens.” says Hütz, “As different as Puzzled Panther and Grace Bergere are, they have the right kind of newness and right kind of oldness about them. They arrived into this world as poets with a singular vision and superb knack for melodism. To me they are the new New York, which has a lot more in common with that magical old New York we know, and none of that bullshit in the middle.”
With Hütz’s recent announcement (Rolling Stone) of Casa Gogol Records, comes a timely collaboration cover of Angelic Upstarts’ “Solidarity” with Bernard Sumner (Joy Division, New Order) and Zachery Allan Starkey(Composer/Producer and New Order affiliate). Listen to Bernard Sumner’s “Right To Freedom” Mix and Gogol Bordello’s “Unity” Mix. This tribute to the punk and anti-Soviet movement will benefit injured Ukrainian soldiers through Kind Deeds, and stand in solidarity with oppressed groups worldwide.

ABOUT EUGENE HÜTZ / GOGOL BORDELLO Eugene Hütz is a Ukrainian-born artist, songwriter and frontman of International punk band Gogol Bordello – a rare musical force raucously illuminating stages alongside System of a Down, Rancid and Dropkick Murphys, dueting with Regina Spektor, and cutting albums with Rick Rubin & Steve Albini. A lifelong lover of the punk scene growing up in Ukraine, Hütz found himself where he felt he belonged, in New York’s Lower East Side in the late 90s, where he went to shows and later performed at the legendary CBGB. Crashing at friends’ apartments and playing acoustic sets in NYC Ukrainian bars, his group steadily grew to an 8 piece multicultural band, combining Eastern, Western and Latin traditions. Hütz is a tireless advocate for Ukrainian solidarity, partnering with Nova Ukraine and ArtDopomoga, as well as putting together benefits with Patti Smith, The Hold Steady, Suzanne Vega, Magnetic Fields, Matisyahu and more. Hütz has also appeared in arthouse films such as Liev Schreiber’s Everything Is Illuminated with Elijah Wood, Filth and Wisdom helmed by Madonna and this year’s Vice documentary Scream of My Blood: A Gogol Bordello Story (Executive Producer Liev Schreiber).
