ok its not bellydance....but we did some folk dancing at the show.

i recently went to go see gogol bordello in chicago and it was a phenomenal show. their music sounds even better live and all the band members are excellent showmen/women. their performance, like their music, was high energy and passionate and you could not help but be swept away.

what grabbed me the most about the whole experience were the audience participants. it was a total mosh pit but they/we were the happiest people i had ever seen in a mosh pit. they/we were signing every word as we did the pogo and pushed to get ever closer to the front. people showed good pit etiquette as well.

if you are remotely interested in rromany music/dance from eastern europe that has been fused with punk, i highly recommend that you go to one of their shows or if you just like good music and a show that is a lot of fun.
