[ATTENDED: April 7, 2016] Xylouris White
I saw Gogol Bordello a few years ago and the show was fantastic. For many bands, seeing them once is enough, but for GB, I had to see them again. So I was pretty psyched that they were going to play at Union Transfer an excellent club in Philly.
When I looked on their site, they said that the opening act was going to be Jessica Hernandez & The Deltas. I checked out their stuff and it was good. But that must have been for a previous tour, because when I got there, the listed opening act was Xylouris White. I couldn’t even imagine what that meant, much less how to say it.
So imagine my surprise when the band came out and it was a guy (with crazy hair) on drums and then a guy with crazier hair and a big beard on what turned out to be a Cretan lute. And that was it. (more…)
