Last time NYC’s Gogol Bordello stomped through town, they put on a fantastic, political, witty, sweaty show at Neumo’s complete with gypsy-anarchist theatrics and flag-waving circus-punk fly girls. They’re back tonight at Chop Suey (9 pm, $12). I recommend you go.

Unless, of course, you aren’t in the mood for loud, and the whole world seems much too mouthy and political and harsh today, in which case you should join me for escapism at Noc Noc ($1 beers and New Wave, no cover).
